"Have mercy upon us, O LORD, for we are in trouble..." (Psalm 31:9)

O Holy Father, 

Please have mercy upon the United States of America for we are in deep trouble. You are the great and awesome God who keeps covenant with those who keep your commands, but we have sinned, acted wickedly, and rebelled. We have turned away from Your commandments, and we do not listen to Your voice, doing what seems right in our own eyes.

Righteousness belongs to You, O LORD, but to us open shame. Please bring us—democrats and republicans, red and yellow, black and white, male and female, old and young, rich and poor—back to our knees in fear of the LORD. 

May Your people who are called by Your name humble ourselves and pray and turn from our wicked ways. Please hear our prayers, O LORD, forgive our sins, and heal our land. Make us once again one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So help us God!

In Jesus' name we pray,

Amen and Amen
