God Bless the United States

Today, we want to thank God for our wonderful country. We want him to know that even through these troubled times, many of us, know that our faith in him has not wavered. We know that sometimes it seems that our country seems to be in dire straights but we must always continue to pray. Please pray for the continuance of our shared American exceptionalism, not with pride but with humility and thanksgiving. We must always remember that even though we are all from different histories. We are all a "People Under God".

PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRY

Almighty God,
bless our nation
and make it true
to the ideas of freedom and justice
and brotherhood for all who make it great.
Guard us from war,
from fire and wind,
from compromise, fear, confusion.
Be close to our president and our statesmen;
give them vision and courage,
as they ponder decisions affecting peace
and the future of the world.
Make me more deeply aware of my heritage;
realizing not only my rights
but also my duties
and responsibilities as a citizen.
Make this great land
and all its people
know clearly Your will,
that they may fulfill
the destiny ordained for us
in the salvation of the nations,
and the restoring of all things in Christ.
Amen
