Creator God, You created the world, and You guide and govern everything with order and
love. Continue to look upon the Governor of South Dakota and fill him with the spirit of Your
wisdom. We pray that He may execute the laws with justice and mercy.
In the same way we ask that You look upon the men and women who are gathered here
as representatives of the people. As they come with their hopes and concerns, may they always
act in accordance with Your will and their decisions be for the peace and well-being of all.
We pray for our judges, elected civil officials, and others who are entrusted to guard our
political welfare. We ask that You would impart Your wisdom and strength upon them so that
their actions and duties be carried out with honesty and ability.
We also ask that You be with the citizens of South Dakota, that they would know You,
Your peace, and enjoy all the blessings of this life. In Your name we pray. Amen.
