O God, You have made a world where men and women may join together to accomplish the larger good, the higher goals. Bring understanding to this people's Assembly so that there may be unity of purpose among those who enact laws, those who carry them out and those who live under their rule. Do not let greed, power or any other form of selfishness blind us to the basic needs of our citizens. Keep us from being careless of one another and to remember that each of us is precious in Your sight. May we work together as brothers and sisters in Your Name.
Amen.
