Proverbs 21  Verse 1 "The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes."    I believe this is a truth that we need to pray for those in leadership of our country. May God turn the hearts of our President, our Congressmen, our Judges... our Governors and any others who make important decisions that affect our country.. may He turn their hearts towards truth and justice and righteousness. 

"To do righteousness and justice is desired by the Lord rather than sacrifice." (v3)  Another good prayer.. for all people to seek His Kingdom and His righteousness.  To do what is just.. to have mercy.. and to walk humbly with God.  "The execution of justice is joy for the righteous.." ( v15)  "He who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life, righteousness and honor." (v21) 

Father, direct our hearts.. into Your love and into the steadfastness of Jesus Christ.  You weigh our hearts. You see all that it in us.  Remove the chaff.. remove the impurities.. refine us.. cleanse us.. that we might have Your heart.. to do Your will.  May we love You with all of our hearts, minds, souls, and strength.  May we love our neighbors. May we honor You with our actions and words. May we be just and merciful.   On this "Good Friday".. may we wonder anew at the Perfect sacrifice of the Son of God.. who gave His life that we might be saved. How thankful that we have such a Wonderful Savior. Praise and honor and thanksgiving to God our Father and to the Son, Jesus Christ, and to the Spirit. Hallelujah! Amen.
