In the darkness, give us light.
In danger, cover us with Your mighty power.
In want, provide for us.
From idols of power, good Lord, deliver us.
From those who enact injustice by decree, good Lord, deliver us.
From cruelty, slavery, and the shedding of innocent blood, good Lord, deliver us.
In every peril, fill us with the calm courage of Your Spirit.
Amen.
