Hidden, we turn to you to be our strength this day. The palmist proclaims you are close to the brokenhearted and that you saved those crushed in spirit. We pray that you lift the spirit of our nation this day and guide those who represent and lead your people. Help our leaders to find good council and give good counsel and give ear to your holy words. The book of proverbs teaches us that for lack of counsel the nation fails, security lies with many advisors. Help all who advise, guide, and help to direct our government, to do so with selfless care. May they put the needs of other before their own cares and lift the burdens of those who suffer most.
