"May we pray. Oh precious God of might, wisdom and mercy, through whom all of our blessings flow, mighty God I ask that You assist us today with Your spirit of great counsel and guidance. I ask that You will impress upon us the importance of grace, the importance of mercy, and the importance of love and honor. I ask that You would teach us how to hate not, nor dishonor not our neighbor, but rather how to follow peace with all men, even as You've already done. Now Lord, I ask that You would keep us mindful of Your greatness and Your ability and the spirit that You had to love those who hated You and the ability that You had to pray for those who had despitefully used You. Now I pray that You will vouchsafe unto them wisdom, and protection throughout this day. This we kindly pray with humble hearts and sincere minds. Amen."
