"Yes, let us pray for those in positions of power—pray that God may turn their hardened hearts to love justice and mercy, so that all may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. And let us act—even in the unjust systems of this earthly life—act shrewdly even now, for whatever good we can do in our little corners of this broken world, holding fast to our faith in the goodness and love of our God who endures."
