"Life is God's gift to you. the way you live your life is your gift to God. Make it a fantastic one... --- Leo Buscaglia

Prayer For Leadership
Give us, O God, leaders whose hearts are large enough to match the breadth of our own souls and give us souls strong enough to follow leaders of visions and wisdom.
Give us the hearts to choose the leader who will work with other leaders to bring safety to the whole world.
Give us leaders who lead this nation to virtue without seeking to impose our kind of virtue on the virtue of others.
Give us a government that provides for the advancement of this country without taking resources from others to achieve it.
Give us insight enough ourselves to choose as leaders who can tell strength from power, growth from greed, leadership from dominance, and real greatness from the trappings of grandiosity.
We beg you, Great God, give us the vision as a people to know where global leadership truly lies, to pursue it diligently, to require it to protect human rights for everyone everywhere.
We ask these things Great God with minds open to your word and hearts that trust in your eternal care.
AMEN
