| The Prayer of the Chalice Father, to Thee I raise my whole being, - a vessel emptied of self. Accept, Lord, this my emptiness, and so fill me with Thyself -- Thy Light, Thy Love, Thy Life - that these Thy precious Gifts may radiate through me and over- flow the chalice of my heart into the hearts of all with whom I come in contact this day revealing unto them the beauty of Thy Joy and Whole- ness and the serenity of Thy Peace which nothing can destroy. |

I thank you, Lord,
For all those faceless people
Who pray their way throughout the days
For all their prayers, yet unheard
For those on earth
Who know our needs and add us to
Their prayerful deeds.
I thank you, Lord.

Almighty God,
we pause to reflect on Your character as we seek wisdom for such a time as this.
In these unsafe days, You remain all-powerful and able to protect; In these uncertain times, You remain all-knowing, leading us aright; In the unprecedented events we're facing, You remain absolutely sovereign.
Our times are in Your hands.
Therefore, our dependence on You, is total, not partial
. . . our need for Your forgiveness is constant
. . . our gratitude for Your grace is profound
. . . our love for You is deep.
We ask that You guard and guide our President and all who serve the people of these United States. May uncompromising integrity mark their lives.
We also ask that You unite us as truly "one nation, under God." May genuine humility return to our ranks. And may that blend of integrity and humility heal our land.
In our Lord's name we pray,
Amen.
