Prayer for a nation

A friend gave me hope this morning when she posted this from the Book of Common Prayer. It gave me the courage to post again. Father forgive us, we know not what we do.
O God, the Father of all, whose Son commanded us to love our enemies: Lead them and us from prejudice to truth; deliver them and us from hatred, cruelty, and revenge; and in your good time enable us all to stand reconciled before you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. -BCP, 1979
