A "Republican" Prayer For the US

Rev. Joe Wright's Prayer at the Opening of Kansas legistlative session which created a lot of criticism from the Democrats

Prayer For Our Nation 
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. 
We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. 
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. 
We have killed our unborn and called it choice. 
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. 
We have neglected to discipline our children and 
called it building self esteem. 
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and 
called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and 
called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today;
Cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'

Lord's Prayer from New Zealand

Eternal Spirit

Earth-Maker, Pain-bearer, Life-giver,

source of all that is and that shall be,
Father and Mother of us all.
Loving God, in whom is heaven.

The hallowing of your name echoes through the universe!

The way of your justice be followed by the peoples of the earth!

Your heavenly will be done by all created beings!

Your commonwealth of peace and freedom sustain our hope and come on earth.

With the bread we need for today, feed us.

In the hurts we absorb from one another, forgive us.

In times of temptation and test, spare us.

From the grip of all that is evil, free us.

For you reign in the glory of the power that is love, now and forever.

Amen.

From the Book of Common Prayer of New Zealand. source

The Prayer for Peace of St. Francis of Assisi embodies the love of humankind.

 

Prayer for Peace

 

Lord,

Make me an instrument of your peace,

Where there is hatred,

Let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

Where there is sadness, joy.

 

O Divine, Master,

Grant that I may seek

Not so much to be consoled,

As to console;

To be understood,

As to understand:

To be loved,

As to love;

For it is in giving

That we receive;

It is in pardoning

That we are pardoned;

It is in dying

That we are born to eternal life.
