Prayers
Prayer for Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Oh Lord, you have given us Ruth Bader Ginsburg
who sits on the highest court in the land
carefully considering and weighing the cases before her,
searching for the central issues of justice in each.
She is important to the maintenance of peace and justice
in our troubled nation. She is ill, seriously, yet determined to keep on
serving her country and, by proclaiming justice and equity
throughout our land,
serving you, Oh Lord
who through the Hebrew prophets and through the teachings
of the Jew, Jesus, has called all of us to serve
all of our fellow citizens
in truth and justice, as she does so well.
We pray fervently, Oh Lord,
that she gain and remain in good health
to continue her service to You
and to all of us Americans.
Amen
