Good morning, Jesus.
Happy Birthday America! Lord God, we fall on our knees and thank You for giving us this exceptional nation. Our great nation was founded on Your principles and values. We have not been a perfect people by any means, falling often and failing not to live up to Your standards, but we call on You for wisdom and guidance. You have led our people through trials that threatened to tear our nation apart, through great wars against evils that sought the destruction of freedom and all that is righteous, and even a great war between ourselves to make all men in our country free. May we never forget the great sacrifices of those who came before us, how they put all on the line to build and keep this wonderful nation under God.
Forgive our sins, Lord God. May we, Your people, repent from our wicked ways, turn from our sins and seek You. Forgive our national sin of abortion, of the taking of our most innocents’ lives. Bring emotional and spiritual healing to those dear ladies who regret their decision. Hold them close to You, bring peace to their heart and may they know Your great love and grace. Help us be the holy people You created us to be.
We pray for our leaders that they will govern with honesty and integrity, that justice will be meted fairly. Bless and protect President Trump, Vice President Pence, and all his cabinet members and their families. We pray for all the Congressional leaders, the federal representatives and senators down to the state and local officials, to the city councils and school boards. May all leaders seek Your wisdom and speak Your truths.
May we always cherish our great nation and the bless You for all You’ve done for America. May we never have to echo the words of John Adams, our second president. “Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.”
Lord, God, may we never squander this great blessings of a nation You have given us.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
