Prayer For February •‘A well ordered life is like climbing a tower; the view halfway up is- better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.” Our Father, help us all to broaden our horizons to take in the needs of the world. Help the rulers of all countries to work and pray earnestly for peace at this time and for all future time. Our father, help us all to have the faith of the founders of this nation, the patience and courage of our pioneers, so we can help give to all the world the principles that made America great. Our Father, help our law makers, w r ho are in session at this time, guard the personal rights and liberties of every American citizen. Father, help them to dedicate themselves anew to God and country and in so doing may they see that “The government of the .people, by the People; and for the people, shall not perish from the earth,” Our Father, help the people of the world center and keep their affections on Christ, our Saviour, that the strength of nations may be set in alignment with the issues of His Kingdom. Help us all to know that if we will do this love, truth, honor and justice will prevail. Our Father, help the people of the world find trust and peace in Thee. Thi s we ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
