God of justice, we pray for the beautiful world
you have made;

for wisdom for those who influence the future;
and for the anointing of your spirit for those
in power.
We pray that Christians may be a blessing in their
communities.
We look for the day when all will hear your voice,
and the nations of the world will rejoice
in your Kingdom, values of justice and of peace.
