Father God,

Today, I pray for our nation and its leaders to turn back to You and to Your Truth. I pray that a genuine love of Truth would return to the public square and halls of justice. I pray that the fear of God would drive the multitudes to seek You in Your Word, to submit to that Word, and to pursue holiness and justice in society.

I pray that You would fill the nights of those who refuse to submit with restlessness. For those who rebel against Your Word, may they be constantly burdened by guilt, not able to rest. For those who pervert Your Word, feigning love of the Word, yet turning it into falsehoods as they speak, silence them, remove their influence, and uncover their nakedness.

Forgive us as a people for having looked to the wolves, to the rebels, to our own sinful hearts for light and guidance. Turn our ears and hearts away from them and set our eyes and ears on the only source of Truth in You.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.
