A prayer for peace for the California State Senate in 2006

Here is one of the prayers I wrote for the California State Senate in 2006. I wish it was out-of-date: 

Almighty God, we pray that the leaders of all nations will work unceasingly for peace and reconcilliation in the many troubled lands of this earth. We pray especially for peace in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we ask that all who are serving our nation will be protected by your embrace and will return safely home soon. Amen.
