“ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness
and to seek Your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says, “Woe to those who call evil good,” but that
is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have neglected to discipline our children
and called it building self esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions
and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography
and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our
forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today;
cleanse us from sin and set us free. Amen!'

With the Lord's help, may this prayer reach out over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we once again can truly be called 'One Nation Under God!'

THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
