Jesus Christ, continually beseeching Your care, guidance, and blessings to be
bestowed upon us all, and in particular our dear Senators of the state of
Michigan who have been gifted with the most significant duty of making
important, and at times, life-affecting decisions. Father, we humbly ask of You
to lead them in all their paths and endeavors that they may be appeasing to
Your glorious will and beneficial for their respective constituents. Deliver
them from the evil one and his hosts and protect them from all harm, hidden or
open. Bless this city, county, state, and country, and all those who dwell
within them, that they all be faithful, loving, and obedient citizens at all
times. We mingle our prayers and petitions along with the prayers of all Your
Holy Saints, we ask in Jesus’ name, and we pray in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, forever. Amen.
