Romans 12:6a

In the Book of Romans we read that: "We have different gifts, according to the grace given us."

Join me as we bow in prayer: Most blessed and loving Lord, today we give You our thanks and praise for the unique gifts that each one of these leaders brings to his or her role. And we once again ask, O God, that You will continue to bless and guide these Senators as they use their gifts in ways that unfailingly benefit every South Carolinian. Further, Lord, we continue to lift up to You the plight of the people of Ukraine: strengthen them; grant them hope for the future; bestow upon them Your gift of peace. And as always, we also ask that You embrace in Your care all of our own women and men in uniform, those serving here at home and around the globe. Moreover, by Your grace may all of us find ways to use our own gifts to aid in promoting peace worldwide. So we pray in your loving name, dear Lord. Amen.
