When sin takes over a nation, the end result is always confusion.
Anger, accusation, and lust for control becomes the order of the day.
Servanthood gives way to the desire to dominate.
Sadly, democracy falls to dictatorship.
There is only one way out.

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people.
Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf,
and give thanks for them.
Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority
so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.
This is good and pleases God our Savior,
1 Timothy 2:1-3 NLT

Heavenly Father,
We humbly seek your divine wisdom to guide the leaders of our nation.
Grant them the insight to make decisions that benefit the greater good,
with a deep understanding of the consequences of their actions.
May they be receptive to counsel and open
to the perspectives of diverse voices within our nation.
In your wisdom, Lord, lies the path to a brighter and more prosperous future.
Amen.
