Good morning, God.
Lord, we have a prayerful patriotic song that asks:
While the storm clouds gather, far across the sea,
Let us pledge allegiance to a land that's free.
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer:
God bless America, land that I love.
Stand beside her and guide her through the night with the light from above.
From the mountains to the prairies to the oceans white with foam,
God bless America, my home sweet home.
God bless America, my home sweet home!
Yes, Lord, we do love this country which we call 'home'. We do ask that you bless us, but not so we can be better than, greater than, all the others, but so we can thoroughly enjoy the richness, the beauty, the bounty, and the blessings you have created here in this place.
In fact, Lord, you call us, not to be so prideful in our country that we become braggadocios, but that we be so appreciative of all our blessings that we are humbled, that we are prayerful, that we are always seeking your face and turning from evil, so that we will always know your blessings.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
