OT: For those that may not be aware, today is the National Day of Prayer. In honor of that, the following is a
Prayer for the Nation written by Billy Graham. At 12:30pm EDT, take a few minutes to remember our country and it's leaders including President Bush and his staff, Congress, and the Supreme Court as many will be doing on Capitol steps across our country. May God bless the USA.
Our Father and Our God,
We praise you for your goodness to our nation, giving us blessings far beyond what we deserve.
Yet we know all is not right with America. We deeply need a moral and spiritual renewal to help us meet the many problems we face.
Convict us of sin. Help us to turn to you in repentance and faith. Set our feet on the path of Your righteousness and peace.
We pray today for our nations leaders. Give them the wisdom to know what is right, and the courage to do it.
You have said, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." May this be a new era for America, as we humble ourselves and acknowledge You alone as our Saviour and Lord.
This we pray in your holy name, Amen. |
