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 40 - DAILY PRAYER (THANK YOU) - JULY 3, 2010











Our Father,


We wish to thank you for all of Your grace and mercy during these 40 days of prayer.  Our needs and thanks have been lifted before Your throne for America.  Lord, You have told us in Your word that we are aliens to this world, but through Your plans to prosper us, we have been placed throughout this great nation.  Bless this soil, as it belongs to You alone.  May we humbly serve out Your will upon this nation, and have hope that our actions and use of this land are pleasing to You Dear Father.  During this 40 day focus on the needs of America, we have humbly beseeched Your mighty hand in many areas of necessity.  From those who are in authority over us, to our American families.  From the West coast to our East coasts, and the trouble in the Gulf of Mexico. We seek Your grace and mercy all the way to the heartland of this county. 


As our creator, we place our firm trust in You alone to come to our aid.  We know You as healer and redeemer.  Heal Your people and this land.....deliver us from the evil one, and his plans to divide this nation's people.  Allow us to seek Your face, and to fall upon our knees in humility before You.  Rock the very foundation of our greedy hold upon Your great possession.  Oh God, Free us from the snares that Satan has captured this great nation in.  Place us in Your hand alone.......hands of peace and grace.  Return us to a God serving nation....reliant upon You alone for our very lives.  Help us to live lives of holiness and purity.  Strengthen our weakness, and fortify our provision.  Grant this nation a continued liberty, and do not suffer us to defeat by our foes.  We ask for all favor upon this country......in the precious name of Jesus Christ.


Amen.
