Lord, as we pray for the restoration of America, we pray that You would make America a light to the world. Father in Heaven, allow us to restore a sense of national dignity. Teach us once again to be a virtuous people, worthy of respect. Allow the world to see Your truth displayed in our citizenry. God of our Fathers, forgive our failures to seek Your guidance as we interact with the nations of Your world. Please give Your perspective on this world and Your wisdom to all those who represent America in official dealings with other nations. As our citizens travel abroad, Lord, we ask You to quicken us to represent our nation honorably. We pray that America would take the lead in ending greed and corruption around Your world. May we be a blessing to all nations, Lord; but we especially ask You to lead us in our attitude and dealings with the nation of Israel, and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem in accordance with Your Holy Scriptures. We ask You to lead and convict those who set foreign policy with a full understanding of Your Scriptural mandate to bless Israel. We would ask, Lord, for favor from other nations who have benefited from the sacrifice of American blood and treasure. But the Lord sits enthroned forever; He has established His throne for justice, and He judges the world with righteousness; He judges the peoples with uprightness (Psalm 9:7-8).
