God of all the Nations, help us to remember that we are citizens and servant-leaders, first and foremost of the Way of you, our Creator, which includes and indeed makes us citizens of your whole world. Help us to love our country, our community, our places of worship, our family and friends. We give thanks you for all of these gifts and blessings. We remember too that you, our Creator made all of creation, all nature, all nations, all animals, all people. And so, help us, O God to critique these entities and their leaders out of love. H
