A Special Prayer for Now: Guard and Guide Our Leaders link

O merciful Father in heaven,
all rule and authority in the kingdoms of the world comes from you,
and you hold in your hand all the might of humanity.
You have instituted the governing authorities that exist
for the punishment of those who do wrong and for the approval of those who do good.
Look on your servants, the President of the United States, the governor of this state,
our judges and officials, and all the rulers of the earth.
May all who have authority work as your servants and use their authority
according to your will and command.
Enlighten and defend them by your name, O God. Give them wisdom and understanding,
that under their peaceful governing your people may be guarded and directed in righteousness, quietness and unity.
God of our salvation, protect and prolong their lives, that we, with them,
may declare the praise of your name; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Prayer of St. Clement of Alexandria, (c. 150–215) link

Be kind to Your little children, Lord; that is what we ask of You as their Tutor, You the Father, Israel’s guide; Son, yes, but Father as well.
Grant that by doing what You told us to do, we may achieve a faithful likeness to the Image and, as far as is possible for us,
may find in You a good God and a lenient Judge.

May we all live in the peace that comes from You. May we journey towards Your city,
sailing through the waters of sin untouched by the waves, borne tranquilly along by the Holy Spirit, Your Wisdom beyond all telling.
Night and day until the last day of all, may our praises give You thanks, our thanksgiving praise You:
You who alone are both Father and Son, Son and Father, the Son who is our Tutor and our Teacher,
together with the Holy Spirit.
Amen
