Sorry, I don't pray for things like that. I find myself deep in contemplative prayer for money all the time but I remember what Rand said...
"Americans have known how to erect a superlative material achievement in the midst of an untouched wilderness, against the resistance of savage tribes.
What we need today is to erect a corresponding philosophical structure, without which the material greatness cannot survive.
A skyscraper cannot stand on crackerbarrels, nor on wall mottoes, nor on full-page ads, nor on prayers, nor on meta-language.
The new wilderness to reclaim is philosophy, now all but deserted, with the weeds of prehistoric doctrines rising again to swallow the ruins.
To support a culture, nothing less than a new philosophical foundation will do."
