Morality Prayer

I think the pundits are right. George Bush's victory is a mandate for morality. With that in mind, I'm inspired to say a prayer for us all. I encourage anybody reading this to say a prayer for humanity, or bettter yet, write your own prayer to The Almighty that our fearless leader doesn't encourage a global meltdown and cause more needless suffering. I don't usually take the time to pray, but I fear our current circumstances warrant it.

Dear Lord,

Please help our leader, George W. Bush, make sound and humane decisions in the coming years of his presidency.

Please help him secure the safety and welfare of all peoples, not just those in North America or those who serve North American business interests.

Lord, help George remember that all human life is precious and full of potential, not just the unborn; liberals, homosexuals, the working poor, the homeless and even drug addicted, radio talk-show hypocrites and sexual-harassing t.v. anchormen who bear false witness to line their pockets with gold deserve to live.

Lord, take pity on us all in the coming years.

Teach George to rule with compassion and humility, and have him teach compassion and humility to those who will do his bidding.

God temper his arrogance so we may avoid the wrath of those who wish us harm.

Urge him to use OUR wealth for good, and not use OUR wealth for evil; to promote peace and not pre-emptively wage war.

Please let him heed your words, Lord.

We are forever at Your mercy.


Amen
