Lord You looked down on Your spectacular creation; limitless mountains, fathomless seas, vast swaths of land, countless stars and galaxies. And You knew gazing upon this wonder it was incomplete, You wanted us. From the very beginning every atomic level detail was taken into consideration for our needs through Your endless love. So small are we yet remarkably important to You, every breath is cared for.
Father, in America, the question used to be, “Ask what you can do for your country.” However, it now seems to be, “What have you done for me lately, country?” We repent from our tendency to rely on “Caesar” for our daily sustenance. Help us to place our trust in You above any earthly or material source. As You care for us, in turn guide us in caring for our country and countrymen.
Help us, Lord, to truly honor our nation’s motto, “In God We Trust.” May Your unwavering hand lead us, amen.
And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in. Isaiah 58:12 ESV
“A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.” — Thomas Jefferson First Inaugural Address March 4, 1801
Hold Fast, Spread the Word and God Save the Republic.
