Here’s
a prayer for those in authority. It was
written by Michael Saward.
Prayer
(inspired by Matthew
23:11-12, 1 Timothy 2:2)
Lord
of the universe and leader of your people,
give
wisdom to all those who exercise authority.
Teach
them to put the good of the many before the greed of the few.
Help
them to love truth and to hate falsehood and corruption,
and,
above all, urge them to remember
that
the one who would be greatest
must
learn to be the servant of all;
for
Christ's sake. Amen.
