Invocation
Clay County Commission Business session
January 25, 2024
Rabbi Larry Karol
(For the Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas City)
Eternal One,
Creator and Sustainer,
Inspiration and Guide,
Be with those here and in this County
who join together
To lead and to serve
To build and to renew
To preserve and to care
To uphold laws and standards
And to support each other
In a spirit of respect and cooperation.
Grant wisdom for the creation of new ideas and perspectives.
Provide confidence in moments of decision.
Offer insight to all who manage policies and people.
Enable officials at all levels to persevere in their tasks
So that they will see their hard work come to fruition
And benefit citizens in ways expected and, as yet, unimagined.
God of this world, Source of unity,
be a constant presence and companion
so that no one here will feel alone
in their efforts to enhance the lives
of all members of this community.
We thank you for opportunities
to continue to reach out to one another
To help and to hope.
Amen.
