Eternal lord god, we pause in these revered halls to give thanks and to offer petition. We acknowledge in this place, you have called all humankind to exhibit righteousness and justice. You desire harmony, accord, peace and wholeness. Bless now, the representatives who gather in this place of policy and procedure. We ask oh god that you would impart the gift of now vision and future sights. We pray for your gifts of discernment, sensitivity and perceptiveness. For those assembled, present, give and grant the posture 6 of patience of cooperation. To those in debate, discussion, discourse and duty, allow calm clarity. Allow truth to reign, justice to reside, and mercy to resonate. Keep ever before us the broken, the disappointed, those in despair, and the destitute. Set ears to hear the cries of the poor, the needs of the sick, and the afflicted. Please allow hearts assembled to do that which is best, for all. In advance, for what you will do, we say thank you. We pray in your holy name.
