Heavenly Father, we lift before You the United States Minor Outlying Islands—remote atolls, reefs, islands, and waters that are often overlooked by the world but fully known to You. You formed the seas, established their boundaries, and filled them with living creatures.
Grant wisdom to every public servant, conservation worker, scientist, sailor, aviator, and service member entrusted with these places. Protect them from storms, accidents, isolation, conflict, and every danger of the sea. Guard the reefs, birds, fish, turtles, plants, and lagoons that depend on our careful stewardship.
Forgive our nation wherever we have treated Your creation as expendable or used power without justice. Teach us to protect what is fragile, honor our neighbors, pursue peace, and exercise authority with humility. May these small and distant islands testify that no part of Your world is insignificant and that every shore belongs to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Psalm 95:5 ESV
“Our country’s greatest asset is not our vast expanse of land and not our abundant resources or our temperate climate. Instead, what will serve America most in the years ahead, our most precious possession, is the genius of our people.” — Ronald Reagan
