National Day of Prayer

Prayer for the people of America

O God, Creator of all, we beseech You to behold America; her people gathered from the corners of the earth; people of all ages, races, tongues, and faiths; Behold America, we pray, O God.

For the laborers and farmers, merchants and builders, keepers of homes and families, the healers of body and soul; the artists and writers, scientists and teachers, and the leaders and protectors of this republic, and its several states and many communities; Behold America, O God.

For constant remembrance of the poor and neglected, the old and the sick, and those oppresseb by terrirm duseasem ir unjustice; that we may endeavor to heal the broken, and ease the sorely burdened; We pray to You, O God.

We beseech You, O God to shield and protect our armed forces, in the air, on sea, and on land.  Guard our servicemen and women and their families on their mission to protect the wellbeing of our country.  May it be Your will that the dominion of tyranny and cruely be speedily brought to an end and those who faithfully serve our nation will return safely home.

Grant to our President, his counselors and advisors, and all who are entrusted with the guardianship our our rights and liberties, such wisdom and understanding that they lead our nation in the path of justice and righteousness in advancing the cause of greedom throughout the world.  Thanks be to God, Amen.
