Lord, give Mr. Steele the unwavering call to do justice.  Let him hear you calling to defend the cause of the fatherless and the widow. To love the foreigner residing among us.  To provide for the hungry, thirsty, and naked. To love our enemy. May your Spirit fill Mr Steele with hope. Remind him that we are good enough for you,so that in all things, he will follow your will,and take up the call to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with you.
