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."

PRAYER & SUPPLICATION AT ONSET OF WORLD WAR I:


Whereas great nations of the world have taken up arms against
one another and war now draws millions of men into battle...And
Whereas in this as in all things it is our privilege and duty to seek counsel
and succor of Almighty God, humbling ourselves before Him, confessing
our weakness and our lack of any wisdom. equal to these things...
Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States
of America, do designate...a day of prayer and supplication and do
request all God-fearing persons to repair on that day to their places of
worship there to unite their petitions to Almighty God that, overruling
the counsel of men, setting straight the things they can not govern or
alter, taking pity on the nations now in the throes of conflict, in His
mercy and goodness showing a way where men can see none....Praying
also to this end that He forgive us our sins, our ignorance of His holy will,
our wilfulness and many errors, and lead us in the paths of obedience.

DAY 20 - DAILY PRAYER (STRENGTHEN) - JUNE 13, 2010






Dear Father,


We come to You a people reminded of how wholly dependent on You we are; our lives, our health, our prosperity, our freedom, our families, our jobs all blessings at Your hand alone.  We recognize that as the beneficiaries of so great a fortune, we have grown complacent, entitled, and ignorant.  We repent.  May our repentance be with all sincerity.  


Father strengthen us in our resolve to engage our world for Your kingdom's sake.  May we find the fortitude to love our neighbor as ourself, to love You with our heart, mind, soul and strength.  In so doing, may we know Christ's freedom; from fear and anxiety and addiction.  May we know deep, abiding, healing joy as Your will becomes our purpose, infuses our life with meaning, and brings renewal to our hearts and our land.


Thank you, Father for hearing us.  Amen.

DAY 20 - DAILY HISTORY (STRENGTHEN)- JUNE 13, 2010







ABRAHAM LINCOLN, MAR. 30, 1863, NATIONAL DAY OF
HUMILIATION, FASTING & PRAYER PROCLAMATION:

We have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand
which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and
strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of
our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior
wisdom and virtue of our own.
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too selfsufficient
to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too
proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us then to humble
ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins and
to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
