Daily (Abigail Spanberger–style) Digital Life Litany for Protection, Direction and Stewardship

Caveat emptier: This post was drafted with help from an AI assistant (Perplexity)— but ideated and edited extensively by the human, Bill Acton

Lord,
you know I’ve spent my life
in service that asks for discipline,
careful judgment,
and a steady hand.

In this digital age,
teach me to bring
that same quiet competence
to my online life.

Help me value facts,
process,
and follow-through
over noise and performance.

Protect my private information,
my family’s security,
and the communities
that rely on trust
from fraud, manipulation,
and careless sharing.

Let me be the kind of person
who reads thoroughly,
checks twice,
and does not confuse
speed with effectiveness.

Guide me to use these tools
to connect people,
solve problems,
and build confidence
where others may only see chaos.

And grant that my stewardship
of this digital world
reflects public service at its best:
measured, responsible,
bipartisan when possible,
and always oriented
toward keeping people safe
and helping them thrive.

AI‑assisted creative work: This litany is an imaginative parody pastiche using generative AI. It imitates the public persona of [Abigail Spanberger] for commentary and devotional reflection. It is not created by or affiliated with [Abigail Spanberger], and should not be taken as her real views or words.''
