Lord, hear our prayer:

Father above, holy and just, we thank you for all world leaders and those in positions of authority in the life of the nation – for those in the police force, the armed forces, for prison officers, probation officers; for magistrates and judges and all the legal profession, who honor your name and give you the glory. We thank you for those who know you and for those who do not, but whose words and deeds reflect something of your love and compassion. May your love find a way to their hearts and minds in Jesus’ precious name.

Amen.
