A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, July 4th

Good Morning, God,
Lord, your word says very boldly, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lordl" For thousands of years the nation of Israel has found your favor, for you claimed them with your everlasting covenants. But, you also have made promises that any nation can be great when its citizens worship you and you only.
We have always considered these United States of America a greatly blessed nation, for we have believed that we are "OneNation Under God." We sing "God Bless America" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee."
Lord, much of our patriotism includes you, if not being dependent on you. Sometimes it seems, though, that we are off-track. But you have also given us a solution to this. Your word says, "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray and seek my fac,e and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
Lord God, we turn to you this day, repenting of our sins and asking you to heal our land and restore us to your Godly greatness.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
