 40 Days to Save America

Day 22

Heavenly Father, we ask for a rebirth of an understanding of the difference between right and wrong. Lead us, O G-d in Your ways of thinking, saying and doing the right thing. L-rd, we hunger for a return to virtue in America. We ask You to help us recover virtue in our individual lives and the life of our country.

We ask that ethics, honor, integrity, morality, goodness, wholesomeness, fidelity, character, respect and manners gain prominence as virtues in our land. As the author of right and wrong, we ask You to rekindle in us a clear sense of moral truth in America.

We ask that You foil all efforts to re-define ethics apart from You and Your truth. We ask for leaders of impeccable ethical character and conduct.

We ask for the widespread teaching of ethics in our homes and educational institutions... not for the purpose of staying out of trouble, but for the ethical value of doing the right thing by You. In Yeshua's name, Amen.

Prayer for Leaders

"The king's heart is in the hand of the L-rd; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases."  Proverbs 21:1

L-rd G-d, we ask for Your blessing on the lives of these leaders in our nation:

President Barack Obama	U.S. Representative Steven C. LaTourette
Vice President Joe Biden	U.S. Representative Robert E. Latta
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton	U.S. Representative Barbara Lee
Attorney General Eric Holder	U.S. Representative Sander M. Levin
Chief Justice John Roberts	U.S. Representative Jerry Lewis
Justice Samuel Alito	U.S. Representative John Lewis
Justice Anthony Kennedy	U.S. Representative Daniel Lipinski
Justice Elena Kagan	U.S. Representative Frank A. LoBiondo

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg	U.S. Representative Zoe Lofgren
Justice Stephen Breyer	U.S. Representative Billy Long
Justice Antonin Scalia	U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg
Justice Clarence Thomas	U.S. Senator Patrick J. Leahy

We ask that You turn their hearts towards You, L-rd. We ask that You soften their hearts, L-rd, to recognize and receive truth. L-rd, we ask that You grant them the understanding and knowledge that come from the fear of You. We ask that You grant them wisdom and discernment, L-rd, and that You make them bold to do what is right in Your sight. L-rd, we ask that You direct their hearts to do Your will. In Yeshua' name, Amen.
