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 21 - DAILY PRAYER (UNCONDITIONAL LOVE) - JUNE 14, 2012

June 14


Father in Heaven,


Thank You for loving us unconditionally, and relentlessly...for sometimes we are not worthy of Your great love.  For the times that we are unable to love, You have still pursued us in Your great love.  As a people, we have sinned against You, run away from You, forgotten about You, and even sought out other Gods to love us.  Yet through it all, You still love us!


Father, help us to live up to Your standard of Godly love.  Indwell  within us with the heart of Your Son, Jesus Christ.  Strengthen us against the daily tests of our patience, and the ill effects that it has on our mortal hearts.  Cause us to rejoice in the simple acts of compassion that we so often overlook from others, and allow us to impart true compassion to all mankind (our families, friends, co-workers, and strangers).  Soften our hardened hearts, and allow us to love unconditionally as You love us.  Help us to forgive others their debts, as You have been gracious in forgiving us ours.  And Father most of all, help us to live in the fullness of Your Word; that we might be like YOU.  For You have told us in Your Holy Word that You are LOVE!
