Prayer Suggestion | L God of all creation, full of love and abounding in mercy; A May the whole earth be filled with your glory. L Lord, bless and guide all ministers of your church; A Clothe them in righteousness and grant them wisdom. L Direct the leaders of our nation; A That they may act in accordance with your kingdom.
