A Prayer for the Government

I know:  I've posted this before.   But I had the misfortune to be stuck listening to political television for what seemed like an hour but was probably, oh, 15 minutes or so.  Hence this collect.  

I think I acknowledged on the first posting that, considering who the individuals mentioned in this collect actually are, it's asking rather a lot of the dear Lord. But He is omnipotent; He can do it.  But do we deserve it?  Oh, dear.  I probably don't.  But you might.  

So:

 O Lord our Governor, whose glory is in all the world: We commend this nation to Thy merciful care, that, being guided by Thy Providence, we may dwell secure in Thy peace. Grant to the President of these United States, the Governor of this State, and to all in authority, wisdom and strength to know and to do Thy will. Fill them with the love of truth and righteousness, and make them ever mindful of their calling to serve this people in Thy fear; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
