As decisions are made concerning troubles in our families, cities and prisons, may justice and fairness rule and Your calming peace be granted to those who are troubled. Please guard and keep safe those responsible for providing safety and protection. Father, thank You for these our Legislators. For the sacrifices that they and their families have made to serve us. Watch over them and grant safety, health and love. Give strength, understanding, truth and justice as we conduct the business of the day. May the decisions be full of wisdom for today and tomorrow.
