Lord,
you know this country
is held together
by ordinary people
doing ordinary things well
even when the world feels loud.
In this digital age,
help me keep faith
with those people.
Teach me to speak plainly,
to listen carefully,
and to remember
that behind every username
is a person with bills to pay,
kids to raise,
and worries to carry.
Protect my family,
my neighbors,
and the vulnerable
from scams, lies,
and the kind of online cruelty
that wears people down
one comment at a time.
Guard my own heart
from bitterness
and from the temptation
to answer every jab
with another jab.
Give me the patience
to do the work,
the humility
to admit when I’ve missed it,
and the steadiness
to keep showing up.
And grant that my stewardship
of this digital town square
helps build confidence rather than fear,
civility rather than contempt,
and a little more room
for folks to believe
that we can still get things done
together.
