A prayer for guidance

This prayer as written by members of the Visions community in York on Wednesday 6th February 2019.  Whether you consider yourself a Brexiteer, a Remainer or just anxious, they are encouraging you to feel free to use or adopt this prayer.

God of all nations, 

Sovereign in our hearts,
You set the stars on their courses,
made order out of chaos,
and care even for the sparrows.
We are ashamed,
we weep for our nation.
Open the minds of our leaders,
the attitude of our representatives,
and the hearts of the people;
so that we can build bridges,
find understanding,
and heal the rifts.
Speak wisdom into the processes adrift,
and speak into the heart of our Prime Minister;
inspiring her through the example of your Son the Servant King.
Guide the government to a fair solution, 
and protect the hard won peace in the island of Ireland.
We ask this in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
Amen.
