Prayer Offered for July 6, 2017

            Yours is all praise, in Your gentleness and pardon. O You who covers our faults. You whose goodness envelops all.
            We praise You with a praise as abundant as raindrops, grains of sand, and pebbles, as abundant as the plants of the earth, and the fish in the sea.  
            We praise You with an abundant  praise, a praise which fills the sky, throne and the stars that glisten above.
            Favor us, o most forgiving Lord, with a repentance that effaces the mistakes which we have made.
            And increase us in blessings, and light, and enable us to guide the people.
            Support us in what we say and do, and make easy our provision from a place we do not know.
            Efface us from our egos and sustain us always in You.
            We ask You to make us from amongst the best who govern and make judgment.
            We ask that You protect us, and grant our families, loved ones, those who love us, and those who do not, and those who do not know love, love.
            Because love is the most powerful ruler, the most relentless conqueror. And if we are able to govern with love, then we will have governed according to the highest degree and will have truly fulfilled our trust with the people.
            With this, we ask that You accept this prayer from us. For You are the Most Merciful who accepts prayers.—AMEN.
