Almighty and merciful Lord,

In Your hands rests the heart of kings,
Guiding them as rivers of water flow.
Grant us the wisdom to seek justice and righteousness,
For You weigh our hearts and actions.

May we humble ourselves before You,
Rejecting pride and wickedness,
And instead, pursue diligence and righteousness,
That we may find abundance in Your grace.

Protect us from the allure of ill-gotten gains,
And grant us the strength to uphold justice,
Knowing that the wicked shall be brought low,
While the righteous find refuge in You.

Grant us discernment to avoid contention,
And the wisdom to seek Your will in all things,
For in You alone lies true safety and peace,
Even amidst the battles of this world.

May our lips speak truth and kindness,
And may our hearts be open to Your guidance,
For in Your wisdom and counsel,
We find true strength and understanding.

We offer this prayer in faith and humility,
Trusting in Your providence and love,
For You alone are worthy of all praise and glory,
Now and forevermore.

Amen.
