PRAYER for Our Nation
Declaration of Independence Signer
George Washington (1732-1799), 1st President of the United States
"Almighty God: We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy Holy protection; and Thou wilt incline the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Government; and to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow Citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Field. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the Characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." --
This prayer of George Washington appears in St. Paul's Chapel in New York City.

Dear Heavenly Father, I have been discriminated against before. It is very hurtful. No one should make others feel less than they are. Everyone is beautiful in You.
Father, Thank you that you love us and that we are the apple of your eye. There is therefore no condemnation for those who love you. Our friend, Denise, is beautiful in your sight and to her friends. Minister to her today, take away the hurt, meet all of her needs and heal her, Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.
