2008 Prayer for Our Nation
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; Lord,
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.
