Most gracious God, who from Your throne beholds all the dwellers upon earth, we heartily beseech You for Your servant, the President of these United States, that he may always incline to Your will and walk in Your way; and that You will likewise bless all who are set in authority over us, that they may be dedicated to the advancement of YOUR glory, the good of YOUR church, the safety, honor, and welfare of the nation; that all things may be so ordered and settled by their endeavors, upon the best and surest foundations, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety may be established among us for all generations.  These, and all other necessities for them, for us, and for YOUR whole church, we humbly beg in the name and mediation of Jesus Christ, our most blessed Lord and Savior.   Amen.   

Lord God Almighty, defend our land, we beseech You, from the secret power and the open shame of grate national sins.  From all dishonesty and civic corruption; from all vainglory and selfish luxury; from all cruelty and the spirit of violence; from covetousness which is idolatry; from impurity which defiles the temple of the Holy Spirit; and from intemperance which is the root of many crimes and sorrows; good Lord, deliver and save us, and our children, and our children's children, in the land which You have blessed with the light of pure religion; through Jesus Christ, our only Savior and King.   Amen.   

O God, grant us a vision of our city, fair as she might be; a city of justice, where none shall prey on others; a city of plenty, where vice and poverty shall cease to fester; a city of brotherhood, where all success shall be founded on service, and honor shall be given to nobleness alone; a city of peace, where order shall not rest on force, but on the love of all for the city, the great mother of common life and weal.  Hear, O Lord, the silent prayer of all our hearts as we pledge our time and strength and thought to speed the day of her coming beauty and righteousness.   Amen.   

O God, we pray for those who are pressed by the cares and beset by the temptations of business life.  WE acknowledge before You our common guilt for the hardness and deceitfulness of industry and trade.  May Your Spirit, which is ceaselessly pleading within us, prevail at last to bring our business life under Christi's law of service, so that all who share in the processes of factory and trade may become conscious of a divine calling and my consciously devote their strength to the common good.  Amen.  

Almighty and everlasting God, the brightness of faithful souls: fill the world with Your glory, we pray, and show Yourself by the radiance of Your light to all the nations of the world; through Jesus Christ our Lord.   Amen.   

O Almighty God, whose dearly beloved Son, after His resurrection from the dead, did send His apostles into all the world to preach the gospel to every creature: hear, we beseech You, the devout prayers of Your people, and look down in Your compassion upon the multitudes that are as sheep having no shepherd, and upon the fields now white unto the harvest.  Bless Your servants who, after the example of Your first missionaries, have gone far hence to the nations, and prosper their work of faith and labor of love; send forth more laborers into Your harvest, to gather fruit unto life eternal; and grant us grace and power to be fellow workers with them by prayers and offerings; that we may also rejoice with them in Your heavenly kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.   

O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Savior, the Prince of Peace: give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions.  Take away whatsoever may hinder us from union and concord; that as there is but one body and one Spirit, and one hope of our calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may be all of one heart and of one soul; united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify You; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.   

Almighty God, we beseech You to assist us by Your heavenly grace, that we may follow the example of our Savior Jesus Christ, in pitifulness of heart towards all those who are forlorn and distressed, in the desire to raise the fallen and protect the weak, and willingness to spend and be spent in the service of others; that all our hopes and desires being truly fixed on righteousness and justice, we may without weariness or wavering fight the good fight, and in faith and patience, may have an abundant entrance ministered unto us into the everlasting arms; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.   

Eternal Refuge of those who are distressed, grant unto us that in all trouble of this our mortal life we may flee to Your lovingkindness and tender mercy; that so, sheltering ourselves therein, the storms of life may pass over us, and not shake Your peace within us.  Whatsoever this life may bring, grant that it may never take from us the faith that You are our Father, and that underneath are the everlasting arms, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.   

 O most loving Father, who wills us to give thanks for all things, to dread nothing but the loss of You, and to cast all our cares on You who cares for us; preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, and grant that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which evermore dwells in You, and which You have manifested to us in Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
