A Prayer for July 4

Lord I ask that you guide the leaders of our nation. May they lead righteously and according to your will. Let your Spirit intercede when mistakes are made and let your divine providential care prevail. Let us truly be one nation under God.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. (Psalms 33:12)

I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth that God governs in the affairs of men... If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground unseen by him, is it probable an empire could arise without his aid? I firmly believe this, and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building not better than the builders of Babel. - Benjamin Franklin

Pray for the USA

Lord we earnestly pray for our nation. Over history, as a nation, we have often chosen the wrong directions and have embrace wickedness instead of righteous; but because of the prayers of your people and your grace, we have been blessed. We confess our sins and ask that you intercede on our behalf. Please guide the hands of those we have chosen to lead us and help us as a nation to overcome the problems that face us. Above all else, Lord turn the hearts of the people of this land to you and let us seek to be a nation of righteousness that truly trust in you. Amen

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)  

A President's Prayer for Guidance

A Prayer for Guidance 

O eternal and everlasting God, I presume to present myself this morning before thy Divine majesty, beseeching thee to accept of my humble and hearty thanks, that it hath pleased thy great goodness to keep and preserve me the night past from all the dangers poor mortals are subject to, and has given me sweet and pleasant sleep, whereby I find my body refreshed and comforted for performing the duties of this day, in which I beseech thee to defend me from all perils of body and soul....

Increase my faith in the sweet promises of the gospel; give me repentance from dead works; pardon my wanderings, and direct my thoughts unto thyself, the God of my salvation; teach me how to live in thy fear, labor in thy service, and ever to run in the ways of thy commandments; make me always watchful over my heart, that neither the terrors of conscience, the loathing of holy duties, the love of sin, nor an unwillingness to depart this life, may cast me into a spiritual slumber, but daily frame me more and more into the likeness of thy son Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time attain the resurrection of the just unto eternal life bless my family, friends, and kindred.

-George Washington (from Washington's prayer journal, Mount Vernon)
