Prayer Offered for August 21, 2017

          Loving God, as our legislature reconvenes to complete the work of this session,

            May their integrity of mind, heart, and will eclipse the challenges to their image brought

about by fear, greed, and entitlement.

            May the work they do help to repair fractured relationships, bringing all of us into right relationship with one another, with our suffering world, and with our wounded earth. 

            May they be known as repairers of the breach, and restorers of the streets in which to dwell. (Isaiah 58:9-12)

            And may each of their constituents also work to know what part of our world God has left for us to repair.

            We ask this in Your name.—AMEN.
