Bless and protect these Representatives and staff as they strive to make laws for the benefit of all people. Protect our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us.

Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
