Through Your kindness, help us as leaders to emulate the greatest of all leaders, Moses, Your servant. Remind us that Moses understood that a leader serves his or her people, the people do not serve the leader. 2000-04-07 House Journal Page 2906 Call us to understand that the strength of his leadership came from being the humblest of all people. Place before our eyes Your law which states to show no favoritism to the rich or deference to the poor so that we remember that we reach out to all those in our State. Carve upon our hearts that which Moses knew -- justice must be tempered by mercy, mercy must be tempered by justice -- and both by fairness. Amen.
