Here's a prayer, but perhaps not quite the one needed. The problem today is not with a wicked enemy without, but the wicked enemy within.
Patton’s Prayer for Fair Weather and the Turn of World War II https://t.co/ZQY37EfH28 via @theblaze— Greg Meadows (@BootsandOilBlog) March 21, 2018
Here's what the prayer actually said:
Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations.
What would be a good prayer for today? Instead of "immoderate rains", substitute "overbearing corruption".
Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain this overbearing corruption with which we have had to contend. Grant us truth for the societal struggle ahead. Graciously hearken to us as patriots who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice in this nation and amongst all nations..
What do you think?

The final prayer is almost the same as the one, with a few changes. "Truth" is replaced with "courage". Otherwise, it is shortened. Here it is:
Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain this overbearing corruption with which we have had to contend. Grant us courage for the societal struggle ahead. Graciously hearken to us as patriots who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish thy justice in this nation..
We are going to need some guts here, and this is our problem, not the world's.
