Dear Heavenly Father,

We come to You in the mighty Name of Jesus, thanking You and praising You for our great nation, which was founded on Your principles.

We ask You to give our leaders wisdom to make decisions that will strengthen and prosper our nation. We pray that You would cause them to be motivated by Your Word, not by partisan or personal concerns.

We pray that You would help the leaders of our government in this time of crisis. Give them understanding, divine direction, and the courage to do that which is right in Your sight. May they follow Your will to direct our nation in the paths of peace and safety.

In the Name of Jesus, we lift up our military to You, for safety, encouragement, protection, guidance, and comfort. Heal their wounds, both physically and spiritually. War and conflict is hard and especially on those who are in the front lines. Be with them always and cause them to be aware of Your presence, giving them courage, wisdom, and peace as they stand against terrorism and carry out the duty they are sworn to, regardless of political differences, even within our own nation. They are our American heroes. We honor them with our prayers to You, in their behalf. Bless them all!

Thank You, Our Father, God, for Your Gift of Salvation, bought and paid for by our blessed Savior, Jesus, who died for our freedom and eternal life. This is the greatest blessing and may we never forget! May we always remember to praise You and give honor to You!

We pray for the peace of Israel as You commanded. We acknowledge that You have the fate of this world in Your Hands. Help us in this great nation, to repent and draw near to You so we may be forgiven and healed in our land. AMEN

Remember that God is our only sure trust.
Mary Washington (George Washington's Mother)

While we give praise to God, the supreme disposer of all events, for His interposition on our behalf, let us guard against the dangerous error of trusting in, or boasting of, an arm of flesh .... If your case is just, if your principles are pure, and if your conduct is prudent, you need not fear the multitude of opposing hosts.
John Witherspoon, a signer of the Declaration of Independence

There are a good many problems before the American people today, and before me as President,
but I expect to find the solution to those problems just in the proportion that I am
faithful in the study of the Word of God.
Woodrow Wilson, 28th U.S. President

America was founded by people who believe(d) that God was their rock of safety. I recognize we must be cautious in claiming that God is on our side, but I think it's all right to keep asking if we're on His side.
Ronald Reagan, 40th U.S. President

Give us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for -
because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.
Peter Marshall, U.S. Religious Leader

Renewing our knowledge of and faith in God through Holy Scripture
can strengthen us as a nation and a people.

The Year of the Bible was declared in 1983
by a joint resolution of the House and Senate.
