Lord, we ask You to give Americans the desire to realize happiness through the pursuit of virtue. Father, our ‘right’ to pursue happiness is on the decline in America. We humbly ask You to intercede on behalf of Your people. As the Creator of life and rights, we entrust You to remind those in power of their sacred duty before You to protect our rights, which are not granted by men, but by You.
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalms 16:11
“I deem the present occasion sufficiently important and solemn to justify me in expressing to my fellow citizens a profound reverence for the Christian religion, and a thorough conviction that sound morals, religious liberty, and a just sense of religious responsibility are essentially connected with all true and lasting happiness;”
President William Henry Harrison
