Pledge of Allegiance of the United States

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Today it reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

DAY 13 - DAILY PRAYER (GOVERNMENT) - JUNE 6, 2010






Father, in heaven, Creator of all things, we ask for your guidance and direction. Our nation was created on the foundations and principles of the Word of God.  Now, some are trying to take that away from us. Those in authority over our government and even people who aren’t in authority, these people were all created by you.  I know that you love each and every one of them, but are not pleased with some of their actions and words. For those who aren’t walking in Your ways, turn their hearts toward their Creator.   Bind the minds of every gov’t official in our nation, whether they work for the local, state, or national govt, to the mind of Christ.  So that when they make decisions for our nation, they will be decisions made on Godly principles, even though they may not realize it.  Your Word tells us that whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.  For the Godly men and women who are currently in office, lead them not into temptation to go against your ways, but give them tenacity and endurance to finish their race in accordance with the Word of God.  Give them the strength and courage to stand firm! Do not leave them nor forsake them, as you have promised.

As the Godly people of our nation humble themselves right now to pray, you promise that you will heal our land. Heal our land, Lord – destroy everything that sets itself up against you and your Word!  And, replace it with all things that are good, pure, lovely, right, virtuous, and acceptable in your sight.

Continue to guard the hearts and minds of all the believers in our nation. Protect each of them mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually as they continue to walk in Your ways.  I know that you hear our prayer Father and I know that you will answer our prayer.  May you receive all the glory for the good and wonderful things that are happening in our nation!  In Jesus name we pray! Amen!
