Lord of the nations,

May we today seek to serve and not to be served. May we be willing to surrender our rights and freedoms for the good of your Kingdom. May we always remember that the Lion of Judah turned out to be the Lamb that was slain.

May we seek goodness and truth, rather than power. May we respond to evil with good, to violence with love, to reproach with blessing.

Free us from the need to win, seeking only the victory that was won at Calvary.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
