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 2 - DAILY PRAYER (ABUNDANCE) - MAY 26, 2012

May 26



Dear Heavenly Father,

It is with humbling gratitude that we thank you for the abundance of blessings you have poured out on our nation.  Please help us, Lord, to have a giving spirit toward others who are less fortunate and a compassion for those who are suffering, showing the grace you give us so freely.  May we find ways to spread your word and minister with a servant heart, both here and abroad.    

Help us to listen to your voice, learn your ways, and live a life pleasing to you….showing encouragement instead of criticism, mercy instead of anger, faith instead of doubt, and joy instead of hopelessness.  Protect our families, our schools, and our churches, and please give us your guidance and strength.  Forgive our nation for forgetting you and help us to become truly “one nation, under God.”
