You are God, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abundant in kindness. We are grateful for Your abiding presence.

Lord, we have, on many occasions, wrestled with our thoughts, our decisions, our actions, seeking always to do what is right in Your sight and in the sight of our constituents.

So we seek wise counsel, understanding that without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many counselors they succeed; And there is none wiser than You.

May this week be a time of great introspection and projection with the ultimate goal of a more vigorous state.

Yours, O Lord, is the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty, forever.
