“if you wanted to return to me, you could.
You could throw away your detestable idols
and stray away no more.
2Then when you swear by my name, saying,
‘As surely as the lord lives,’
you could do so
with truth, justice, and righteousness.
Then you would be a blessing to the nations of the world,
and all people would come and praise my name.”
O Jerusalem, cleanse your heart
that you may be saved.
How long will you harbor
your evil thoughts?
My people are foolish
and do not know me,” says the lord.
“They are stupid children
who have no understanding.
They are clever enough at doing wrong,
but they have no idea how to do right!”

Lord God, open the eyes of America and me, Lord God, I pray for your authority to rule over me, my family and my nation. Lord God, open my eyes to things I can do so your truth can be seen thru me. Help this country to turn back to your authority and stop worshiping idols of lies. May I be used in your favor, cleanse me of my past and lead me in a path of truth, protect me from my old sinful ways.

In Jesus name,
Amen
