A prayer for the First Family

This prayer is from Becki:

Loving God, there is a new feeling spreading across the nation. One of joy and hope. Lay your hand on our fevered brow and bring us back from the sickness that is fear and paranoia and distrust and greed.

Open hearts and minds that previously delighted in their closure - or at least felt most comfortable there.

Grant strength to President-elect Obama, surround him with a "force field" of Your love and safety, and grant the same blessings to his family. Guard the girls' hearts as they become the First Daughters.

Love us and bless us this day and in the days and years to come.

Amen.
