INTERCESSION
I exhort, therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, be made for all men: for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all godliness and gravity. 1 Timothy ii, Iff). Our God and Father, Whose mercies have been from of old. grant Thy continual grace to those occupying high places in the government ot the Empire and of the nations in our British Commonwealth, also of our Allies, in these days when wiscom and endurance beyond the human j is sorely needed. Guide also the leaders of the fighting forces and of the Church. May they be skilful in law and guidance, bold in intelligence and goodwill. May they lead us into victory, and may they have the vision of a world made better by honour, justice, and brotherhood. Grant then confidence even in strife and darkness for their part in the coming of Thy new day. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
