Set our feet on the path of Your righteousness and peace. We pray today for our nation's leaders. Give them the wisdom to know what is right and the courage to do it. You have said, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD." May this be a new era for America, as we humble ourselves and acknowledge You alone as our Savior and Lord.
