Good Morning, God,
The headlines read on the Fourth of July, "Why the United Sates is not a Christian Nation." The story laid out the principles by which our Constitution and Bill of Rights were formulated, Lord.
We wonder what you thought, then, when we promulgated that, "Congress shall make no laws respecting the establishment of religion"? Did you appreciate this, Lord, since basically the church and state were one in "Jolly ol' England." Or, did you think, "how sad," because you designed us to be persons under your grace and love and do everything we do, including our governance under your principles before we rely on human-made governing principles.
Lord, we Christians do pray that we all would become one in faith and action in the way we live - including in the way we are governed. However, you have given each person the opportunity to choose each day whom he or she will serve - or not serve. We pray we will all choose to serve you through Christ, then let Christ's ways guide our governance.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
