Heavenly Father, Your word teaches us regarding what fruit we bear. Luke 6:43-45 “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thorn bushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.” LORD, please bring forward true confession by those calling themselves justices, attorneys, leaders of this nation. They are paid for their words either spoken or written. They hold all other U.S. citizens according to their words and deeds, so let this same accountability at even a higher level be applied. Jesus did not pay a low cost for salvation, He paid the highest. Therefore, have mercy, remove wickedness and pride filled hearts. Restore justice and truth according to Your righteous ways within every court at every level. Holy Spirit bring conviction and correction where it is most surely needed and let salvation break forth. Thank You Jesus for the price You paid. In Your holy name. Amen.
