A Prayer for January 20, 2021
God, bless this new day.
A time of renewal,
A moment of regeneration.
An opportunity for reconciliation.
A celebration of history.
A commemoration of growth yet to come.
God, bless this new day.
A reflection of our people
A consequence of our colorful human tapestry.
A culmination of consistent and honored service
A confirmation of a choice of leadership.
A consecration of national persistence.
God, bless this new day
A reminder of our hallowed values.
A challenge to demonstrate our essential moral fiber.
A clarion call to exhibit the best of our collective character.
A restoration of avenues leading to intersecting perspectives.
A recognition of the role of every resident
in this ongoing pageant of democracy.
God, bless this new day
And may there be more days in the future
That mirror
This day
And, Eternal One,
With the strength of Your hands
Working through our hearts,
Hold within those many approaching days
Hope
Consideration
Cooperation
Promise
Equality
Charity
Prosperity
Progress
Understanding
Love,
And
Peace.
