  Prayers for truth and justice would be appreciated;

   So far a lawyer has been indicted and a Russian national has been arrested.  They are reported as being former Clinton operatives !

I've always prayed for the country in general but nothing specific.
Maybe I need to change that. :)

Actually, I generally pray for God to be glorified. Who are you or I to tell Him what will glorify Him?

  "Prayers for truth and justice", do you have a problem with "truth and Justice"?

   14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
      (2 Chron 7:14)

Nope. Do you have a problem with the Lord being glorified?

  Not at all, in fact I like to make an effort of following His prescription..

   Yes; Jesus gave us a pattern by which to pray..he outlined it in what is popularly referred to as "The Lord's Prayer".

  Contrary to what many people think, He wasn't  telling us to pray thaose exact words over and over, since that
   would be vain repetition. 
   Note:    "After this manner pray".
   He was setting the pattern for our regular prayers.  Let's take a look..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

       9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

   Give Him the glory !

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

   Praise and worship His power !

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

   Make your request.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

  Any other requests.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: A final request   For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.  Close with more praise. Amen.

                                                                                                                         (Matt 6: 9-13 KJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   We really should follow that as a regular habit in our prayers..

Seems to me you spend more time glorifying yourself, trying to convince people how holy, and smart you are.
At least that's what your lectures indicate.  ;)

My money is on gene already knowing how to pray, and is most likely as familiar with that scripture, and its meaning, as you or myself.  ;)
