Happy 250th Birthday, America!
“Lord, so teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.” - Psalm 90:12
Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our
heritage: We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove
ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will.
Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and
pure conduct. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion;
from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our
liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes
brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom, in thy Name, we entrust
the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace
at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show
forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of
prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of
trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all of which we ask
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
