The wonderful work of your hands can be seen in all the Universe. The whole earth and everything on it comes from you. Nations are founded with your approval. You give and you take away.

You have given us this land to inhabit, but You know very well that it is not doing well and we need Your intervention to heal our land and give us the guidance to be better stewards.
Today I present to You the most critical issues affecting us. I ask You to improve the lack of economic opportunity. May more businesses prosper so that there will be less unemployment. Eliminate the wars between nations and all kinds of conflicts that countries have internally.
Lord, you are our provider; I ask you to please provide food and water for all those in need. Eradicate corruption in governments and bring corrupt leaders to justice. We also need to make our leaders more accountable for their actions. Do something Lord, against every kind of economic inequality, racism and all kinds of unfair treatment.

Prayer to Stop Poor Execution and Lack of Accountability
Eternal God,
I pray today that you will bring every person who holds a position of leadership accountable for their actions. Bring to light the wrongdoings of those in power and the government, so that proper action can be taken to correct them. Unmask all those who steal and use our resources for their own benefit. Cause all dark plans with evil intentions to never come to fruition. Remove those who are unworthy of those positions and put those who truly work for the welfare of the whole world. Show those in power how they can make things better for everyone else. Rise up, Oh Lord and answer my prayer. Amen.
