Our Father God, reverently we pause in Your presence to welcome the opportunities of this day. We place our lives upon the altar of public service, asking Your leadership and help. Endow us with creative insight, disciplined thoughts, precise expressions, and sound judgments. Remove from us all that obstructs our discerning and doing Your will. Direct our energies, instruct our minds, clarify our thinking, sustain our determination to follow Your beckoning. Walk with us and work through us till the day is done.

Hear us, Lord, in this prayer offered with thankful hearts for all Your blessings. Amen.
