PRAY WITH US about Constitutional priorities: Father God, from You every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. So we declare You as the Father of our nation. And we thank You for hearing our prayers for the Constitutional process so far. For You have moved on the public to affirm Your supremacy over this nation as our firm foundation. You have also moved on the public to affirm such basics as government accountability and traditional family. And to affirm basic rights, which only You can grant, and that government cannot take away.
So we pray for the Constitution to affirm these basics too. Give grace to the People’s Constitutional Commission to follow Your guidance and to recognize the public’s just recommendations. Make this work a good work that will set Your course for the future. Affirm men and women as made in Your image, with marriage as one man and one woman united by God. And family as best headed by the married mother and father. That future generations will be fruitful and multiply from a stable foundation. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Other major recommendations from the public survey include protecting traditional family values…
