A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, January 4th

Good Morning, God,
The headlines are about our new town leaders and the leaving from office of those who have been leadning.
First, Lord, we are grateful for the country, state and towns we live in where we can carefully elect those we want to govern us. We are also thankful that the transitions are peaceful and not bloody messes. We, the people, are now called to go along with our new leaders, working with them to provide for us safe, prosperous, caring, places to live.
Second, Lord, we ask that you will bless those who have left office, some after a long service and some after a short service. May the opportunities provided by having newly-found time be filled with additional good-doing.
Third, Lord, please put your guiding hand on those who have newly taken the oath of office. May they serve faithfully, honestly, openly, fairly, and friendly.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
