A Fourth of July Prayer
Posted: July 4, 2023
Beseeching the Lord of Liberty…

Our old forefathers recognized
one Father of us all.
Their faith in God then paved our destiny.
The Pilgrims and the Puritans
sang praise to One who reigns
o’er every nation by His Sovereignty.
One nation under God we claim
as we salute our flag.
Our fathers’ hope remains our dream today.
A dream we still articulate
the fourth of each July.
A dream for which we wait and humbly pray.
O God, please bless America
as we each do our part
to purge our land of godlessness and greed.
Equip our leaders with the will
to stand for what is right
and speak up for the rights of those in need.
Forgive us for our tendency
to cave to culture’s trends
and go along with what Your Word decries.
Infuse us with the mind of Christ
to navigate what’s truth
while steering clear from self-destructive lies.
Revive Your Church. Restore our land.
Renew us from within.
Redeem what we’ve allowed to slip away.
God bless our nation once again
that we might be the means
to bless a hurting world that’s lost its way.
