But the Lord lives on forever;
he sits upon his throne to judge justly the nations of the world.
All who are oppressed may come to him.
He is a refuge for them in their times of trouble.
Psalm 9:7-9 Living Bible
***
Lord,
I pray for our nation and ask that You would look down on us in pity and mercy.
Forgive us for the way that we have turned our backs on You in so many ways
and bring us back as a people who seek to follow the ways of justice and peace.
Keep our land free from war and aggressions, from winds and earthquakes,
and from those things that cause hurt and fear and confusion.
May we as a nation turn to You and call out to You in the day of trouble.
Be close to all our leaders and governors
and give them wisdom and discernment as they rule this nation.
May the decisions that they make be wise,
and Lord, I pray that our nation would turn to You for Your wisdom and Your strength.
Amen
