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 10 - DAILY PRAYER (REVILE) - JUNE 3, 2011

June 3



Webster says to revile is "to use abusive or contemptuous language in speaking to or about; call bad names."  A definition of curse is "a profane, obscene, or blasphemous oath, imprecation expressing hatred, anger, vexation."


Father, we confess that we have tried to be careful to never revile You, but we have not been careful to not curse our rulers/leaders.  We ask that You forgive us for saying words that actually curse our leaders and with Your help, we choose to watch our mouths so we will not continue this action.  We commit to pray for our leaders and not curse them.
