Prayer for the week
Almighty Father, whose will is to restore all things in your beloved
Son, the King of all: govern the hearts and minds of those in
authority, and bring the families of the nations, divided and torn
apart by the ravages of sin, to be subject to his just and gentle rule;
who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one
God, now and for ever.
