TWO PRAYERS FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF ADVENT – one being for our country at this time

O Lord our God,
make us watchful and keep us faithful
as we await the coming of your Son our Lord;
that, when he shall appear,
he may not find us sleeping in sin
but active in his service
and joyful in his praise;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, AMEN.

God of grace and truth,
send your Spirit to guide us
as we discern your will for our country.
Help us to discuss the issues before us
with courtesy and mutual respect,
and grant that all who stand for public office
will seek to serve the common good,
through him who came not to be served but to serve, through Jesus Christ our Lord, AMEN
