“Blessed are You God of creation and
source of life and all that is good and beautiful within it.
And we thank You for the great gift and
responsibility of sharing with us the power to make decisions that will shape
and guide the lives that belong ultimately to You.
We particularly ask Your guidance for
those who will struggle and deliberate here.
Help each of them to speak clearly and
with courage that piece of Your Truth to which their eyes have been opened and
to which they need to open the eyes of others.
But help each of them, as well, to
listen attentively and with humility to that piece of Your Truth to which their
eyes need to be opened by others.
Help each of them to breathe in deeply
of Your Love which is both gentle and fierce and never self-serving before it
has served the needs of others.
Don’t let their trust be naďve, but don’t
let a healthy skepticism be poisoned by the cynical.
Help them to serve the ideals that led
them to run for office without being dismissive of the vision and values of
others.
We boldly ask all of this with humility
and confidence that You even more than we want what is best for all people that
do dwell within these pleasant peninsulas, and that if we can do no more at
this moment than to sincerely share this prayer, then we have taken the first
step in together serving Your purposes.
And so we ask, God help them. God help
us. Amen.”

school-based and school-linked health centers and programs in the state of
Michigan delivering a range of primary, preventive, early intervention, and
mental health services to children and youth of all grade levels in urban,
rural, and suburban schools across the state; and

school attendance, enhanced scores on standardized tests, less absenteeism due
to illness, and increased immunization rates, while having their wellness and
healthcare needs addressed; and

children and youth; and
