The coming months are living in suspend, we are to choose new leaders, new representatives for the people from all walks of life and deciding the fate of the nation.

A Prayer for Justice

Lord, may justice flow like a river
Reaching barren lands and sun scorched deserts 

Where people feel forgotten and hopeless 
Let your water of life 
Comfort them 
Where children lie abandoned or abused 
Let your water of life 
Protect them 
Where communities suffer at the hands of prejudice 
Let your water of life 
Shield them 

Lord, we ask for a mighty downpour from Heaven 
May your sons and daughters hear your voice
May we live as you lead us to live
Go as you bid us to go
Serve as you inspire us to serve
Give as you teach us to give
Until the earth is covered with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea
Amen 

(an example of a modern prayer for justice from www.lords-prayer-words.com. This can be prayed with a nation or people group in mind)

A Prayer for the Poor and the Neglected

Almighty and most merciful God, 
we remember before you all poor and neglected persons whom it would be easy for us to forget: 
the homeless and the destitute, 
the old and the sick, 
and all who have none to care for them. 
Help us to heal those who are broken in body or spirit, 
and to turn their sorrow into joy. 
Grant this, Father, for the love of your Son, who for our sake became poor, 
Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Amen.

Prayer for Peace
The prayer for peace is said daily across the world at twelve noon by people from many different religious beliefs and philosophical persuasions:-

Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust; 
Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace; 
Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe.

(This simple prayer comes from the Vancover Assembly of the World Council of Churches. It's origins a thought to be from England circa 1981. In the early eighties, Mother Teresa of Calcutta popularised this prayer, and it subsequently became adopted by the Assembly of World Religions meeting in Russia. This event was timed to coincide with the second United Nations Special Session on Disarmament. By the end of the decade, the Berlin Wall had crumbled and the "Cold War", if not completely over, was certainly no longer the dark shadow across the world that it once was. However, with the turn of the millenium, and "9/11", the world was to face new challanges and new wars. Hence this prayer is as relevant today as it was when it was first prayed almost thirty years ago).
