Monday was inauguration day, and perhaps I will share some thoughts here later (if I dare). In the meantime, please consider this prayer offered by Fred Holloman, chaplain of the Kansas State Senate (as cited in Kent Hughes’ Discipline of a Godly Man):
Omniscient Father:
Help us to know who is telling
the truth. One side tells us one
thing, and the other just the opposite.
And if neither side is telling the truth, we would like to know that, too.
And if each side is telling half the truth,
give us the wisdom to put the right halves together.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
