WE COME IN PRAYER: Lord of all nations, we thank and
praise You that You created us for freedom, that You re-created us for freedom
in Your Holy Gospel. Keep us ever
mindful of our responsibilities and privileges as citizens of a free nation and
as responsible and privileged members of Your kingdom of grace. Hear us, Heavenly Father, and send Your Holy
Spirit to guide both us and our leaders for the sake of Jesus, Your Son and our
Lord. Amen.
