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 1 - DAILY PRAYER (PRAISE YOU) - May 25, 2011

May 25



Father Almighty,


We praise you and exalt Your Holy Name dear Father.   May Your Name be higher than every name in Heaven and Earth, and across this vast nation.  We humbly thank you for the great and many blessings that You have given us as Americans.  Through Your mighty hand we were given freedoms that are unique on Earth.  Your blessings of prosperity have been lavished on us from our meager beginnings.  You alone have protected us from the scourge of our enemies, and sheltered us from lasting occupation by other nations.  As You once set your captive people free from captivity in Egypt, you have freed us from our chains of slavery to men and other nations.  Eternal Father, You have shared Your greatest gift with this nation, allowing us to know and accept Your one and only Son though our freedom of religion.  While other countries make His name illegal, You have given us the free will to accept Him in our heart…the heart of this nation. Our mouths will speak in praises of the LORD.  Let every creature praise Your holy name for ever and ever.  As a Christian nation; we commit our prayers and supplications to You during these 40 days of prayer, and humbly seek your face in this land.  Please bless us with your open ears, and manifold grace over these 40 days of prayer and fasting.


In the name of your precious Son Jesus,  we commend these words to Your ears as a nation.


AMEN.
