Prayer for politics and government Christ in the midst of our political world: A Liturgy

Leader: I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour.

Leader: We pray for the Queen and Royal family. All:All through this hour, Lord be their guide. Leader: For the Prime Minister, and for the Cabinet. All:All through this hour, Lord be their guide.

Leader: For all those who are members of the House of Commons and House of Lords. All: All through this hour, Lord be their guide. Leader: For our local MP and for local Councillors. All:All through this hour, Lord be their guide.

Leader: We pray for all Christians working in the areas of politics and public service. All:All through this hour, Lord be their guide.

Leader: The prophet Isaiah wrote of the Messiah who was to come: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” We believe Christ to be the source of all wisdom, generosity, honesty and peace. We accept his good Government in our lives. All:Amen. Lord have mercy.
