`Prayer for Our Head of State

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: February 3, 2008

On the occasion of the State of the Union address…

The state of the union
of all fifty states
is sure far from perfect
but still it is great.

Our leader is prayerful.
He works for our good.
If only his critics
could stand where he's stood.

They'd judge him less harshly.
They'd give him more grace
in light of the stresses
he daily must face.

The state of his union
is fragile at best
with critics who rob him
of much needed rest.

And so, Lord, I'm praying…
"Help George finish strong.
Surround him, sustain him,
protect him from wrong."
