Independence Day

Prayers

Lord Jesus, it was you who first taught 
that all people are created equal. 
That we are endowed by You 
with certain inalienable rights 
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Thank you for the privilege of being an American, 
for living in a country founded on your principles, 
for the freedom to freely worship You, My God.

When we fail as a people to do Your will, 
grant all our leaders wisdom 
that they might guide us back to a Godly path.
God, please bless America.
