2008 Prayer for Our Nation
Written by Dr.
2008 Honorary Chairman, National Day of
Prayer Task Force
Holy Father, in a world where so many are
hungry,
You have given us food in abundance;
In a world where so many are hurting,
You offer to bind up our wounds;
In a world where so many are lonely,
You offer friendship to every heart;
In a world longing for peace,
You offer that hope.
Yet, we are so stubborn and resistant.
Have mercy upon us, Lord.
We as a nation are at a crossroads this
year;
we look to you to be our strength and shield.
Please give us the guidance to elect one
who will honor you
and to respond to the wisdom from above
so that our hope may be renewed and our blessings be
treasured.
In God's holy name.
