          O Lord, we pray for Your guidance as we work                                              
          together for the best interests of our communities, our                                   
          nation, our world, and the ultimate goal of peace.                                        
          When times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful                                     
          and in troubled times may our deepest trust be with                                       
 You.                                                                   Amen.
