The LORD is our rock, and our fortress, and our deliverer; in Him will we trust: He is our shield, and the horn of our salvation, our high tower, and our refuge, our savior; You save us from violence. We call on You LORD, for You are worthy to be praised.

When waves of impending decisions come at us, floods of requests from all directions; when frustration, envy, and anger knock at our door, we wisely call upon You LORD and You hear our voice and grant us peace, insight and wisdom.

Though we have a noble calling and aspire to do great things on behalf of our constituents, we sometimes fall short. Help us to start well and finish well - with our integrity intact.

Keep Your servants also from the sin of pride and arrogance. Let it not have dominion over us. Then shall we do what is right and be free from manipulation, pressure and the fear of man.
