Holiness In The US House Of Representatives

The Capitol Building tilted at a jaunty angle in the background with a jonquil in the foregroundFor the members of the U.S. House of Representatives to seek God with their whole hearts, desiring righteousness and holiness as they serve

Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.
—Isaiah 11:5


Sovereign God, Your plans are perfect and Your ways are right and just. We look to You and see the beauty of all You have designed. We trust in Your perfect will and Your way, particularly when it comes to the selection and cooperation of our national leaders.

Lord, assist those in the U.S. House of Representatives to desire what others, particularly their constituents, want and need instead of what will bring them individual gain or glory. Show them the value of asking You for insight and of obeying Your direction, in humble recognition of Your presence and love. Let them pursue righteousness and holiness as they serve on Capitol Hill, in the name of Christ our Lord, amen.
