Almighty Lord, We thank You for the blessings of liberty, for the Constitution and the institutions of self-government, and for the generations who have sacrificed to preserve and extend the promise of freedom in America. Thank You for citizens who serve in their town, election workers who labor faithfully, and public servants who act with integrity.
Lord, grant the American people wisdom as they consider candidates, policies, and the future of our nation. Teach us to seek truth, reject deception, examine our own motives, and listen with humility to those whose convictions differ from ours.
We pray for our elected leaders, that they may govern with courage, honesty and restraint. Protect the integrity of our elections, uphold equal justice, and preserve the peaceful exercise of our rights. Heal divisions that have hardened our hearts, and turn us away from hatred, corruption, and selfish ambition.
Help parents, teachers, churches, and communities raise generations who understand both the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship. May we use our freedom to serve others, defend human dignity, and pursue the common good.
Guide America in righteousness, mercy, and peace. May our gratitude lead to faithful action, and may our nation continually seek Your wisdom and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority. Romans 13:7 NLT
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly… Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.” – Thomas Paine ‘The American Crisis’ December 19, 1776
Hold Fast, Spread the Word and God Save the Republic.
