- For all who follow Christ, that they may work to make the kingdom of God a reality (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
- For those who lead nations, that people in positions of power may always seek truth and justice (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
- For the people of all the countries on earth, that they may work together for an end to hunger and want (pause for silent prayer). Lord, hear us.
