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."

Father God, We are so grateful for the privilege to be able to go to you with anything. Our problems, questions, and our secret fear & doubts. 


God give us a pure heart, single-minded in pursuit of you and presence. We pray that we won't miss the signs and callings of what you have for our lives. Show us insight so we can do your will, in obedience. God, divert our eyes from the worldly things, and desires, That we would live this life you gave us in completeness and abundance you intended. Teach us to rely on you more with the things we go through in life the good times and the hard. So that we can show ourselves approved of our tests and hardships and show complete trust in you. 


In Jesus' Name, amen!
