Proverbs 25: 4-5
Remove the impurities from silver, and the sterling will be ready for the silversmith. Remove the wicked from the king's court, and his reign will be made secure by justice.
O Righteous Father, please protect Your people You have raised to positions of power and leadership. Surround them with people they can trust to be true to You and Your ways, removing all those who feign loyalty to do their own thing.
Lead, guide and protect Your godly men and women who have a say in the ruling of the Nations; draw them ever closer to Yourself and teach them how to implement Your righteous ways in all their governance.
Thank You for working out Your plans in all the Nations, and for saving out of every Nation and People and Tribe and Language a people for Your own Name. Protect Your people, especially those who live among Your enemies.
And bring Your righteousness back to this Nation, Father, before the end.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
