A Prayer for Our Leaders

My small group discussed 1 Peter 2:13-17 last night. He is that passage in the form of a prayer:
Lord, God, may we be subject for your sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by you to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is your will, that by doing good we should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. May we live as people who are free, not using our freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Oh Lord, may we honor everyone. May we love the brotherhood. May we fear you. And may we honor the President. Amen.
