06/15/2011 - Daily Prayer

Dear Precious Lord, gracious God,
You are the Absolute Being, All Knowing, All Powerful, Almighty, and Creator. Your greatness is marvelous. Your rule is supreme and your presence is magnificent. It is because of you that miracles happen daily. Marriages are formed, babies are born, children are adopted, and the elderly are being cared for. And I thank you; we thank you. Your love is incomparable and incorruptible.
Lord you are a liberator. Thank you for being a Liberator who cares for His people, His children and His creation. So much so that you even emancipated persons of color who were once unethically and immorally held in bondage under the evils of slavery. We come here this day, at this time and at this hour commemorating the announcement of liberation. And we are thankful for that announcement. That announcement proved the existence of a loving and caring God who disapproves of systems of oppression. And for that, we thank you.
God, we ask that you bless those under the sound of my voice as they seek to govern our great state. Please provide for our governor and state leaders wisdom and compassion as they serve even the least of these. Remind them that they must choose righteousness over being right; and love over hate.
Bind us together. Make us one. Provide strength, stamina, and stability as we proceed into the future.
In Thy Name and in the Names of Freedom Fighters who have Gone on before us,
Amen
