God of our past, God of our future,
from whom comes all authority in heaven and on earth,
We pray for Local Councils, for the Northern Ireland Assembly and the Executive,
as well as those who serve elsewhere in government in the UK and Ireland;
By your gracious help may they govern with wisdom and integrity,
and serve the common good; that all may enjoy peace,
and grow in respect for one another.
This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Adapted from ‘A Prayer for the Northern Ireland Assembly, and the Executive’ (Book of Common Prayer 2018 p.98)
