Prayer for the Nation

By Dr. Barry Black, Chaplain of the United States Senate

Gracious God,
You have been good to us beyond our deserving, making our Nation a land of liberty. Help us to protect our freedoms with diligence and integrity.

Lord, bless our military as it advances freedom’s cause around the world. Bless also the institutions of power and influence in our society – the government, the churches, the media, the schools and the families. May each bring glory to Your name.

Forgive us when we stray from right paths. We place our trust in You, O Lord, believing that Your hand will sustain America. Let no shadows obscure the pathways which we should tread.

We pray in Your holy name. Amen.

Levicitus 25:10 - "..proclaim liberty throughout this land and to all its inhabitants."
