Today marks 70 years since Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne. Following the death of her father, King George VI, at the age of just 27, Elizabeth became our queen. She has served this country faithfully for the past 70 years. Personally, I have great admiration for her and her unswerving faith through so many challenges.
The Archbishop of York penned this prayer for the Queen's 70th anniversary:
Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness. bless our Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth, and all who are in authority under her; that they may order all things in wisdom and righteousness and peace, to the honour and glory of your name and the good of our church and people; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. AMEN
