Good morning, God
We give you thanks today for those who have led the democracy of our country over the years. Especially we thank you for George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, for who this “Presidents’ Day” was originally named, but now is used to honor all of our Presidents.
Lord, from the inception of these United States, we have been blessed with a system of government that enables and encourages the participation of all its citizens, the recognition and election of a few gifted individuals to serve the rest of us, the checks and balances necessary to prevent a dictatorship, unilateral decision-making and to provide for fair elections, so that we, the citizens of the United States of America, can live to expect that “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” will be available to us.
Lord, we thank you for the service of past Presidents and ask that you will guide President Obama and all those who serve us in our nation’s capitol, to lead in ways that glorify your creation and provide well for our living.
In Jesus name, Amen
