Praying for our U.S. Congress these days is challenging. Where to start? I have found an intercessory prompt in Prayer Prompts 3 to be helpful. It says: I pray for peace. Guide all of your human children in the ways of mutual respect and commitment to serving the common good. I pray today for a place that needs peace… Every day the rest of the prayer takes a new direction in response to the news. Some days it is simply the whole elected community. Some days it is an individual. Now the focus is the budget designing team. My deep yearning is that they may be mutually respectful and work together for the common good. It is tempting to pray for specifics that I want to see in their final product. I may do that, trusting that only God knows what will in the long haul best serve the common good. We all need for peace to come to Congress. And God knows it too,
