Let those who are wise understand what is written. Let those with discernment listen carefully. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. . . (Hosea 14:9)

All-knowing God, before You all things are laid bare and every detail, whether large or small, is known. All praise and glory goes to You, O mighty God, for Your omniscience and omnipotence before the greatest and least of the leaders of our nation and state.

Lord, we ask You today, to help us to be persons of impeccable integrity. May we not use our authority for inconsequential means or ill-advised intent, but instead to recognize and revere the responsibility that has been given to us. May we recognize this responsibility as a divine trust given by You. Cause us to be wise and proper stewards of our positions, and keep us from the influences that could so easily ensnare us in dishonesty.

Now may You comfort our hearts with all comfort, and help us in every good thing we say and do.
