Lord, keep our nation under your care. Bless the leaders of our land that we may be a people at peace among ourselves and a blessing to other nations of the earth. Help us to elect trustworthy leaders and contribute to wise decisions for the welfare of all people and thus serve you faithfully in our generation to the honour of your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
