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 27 - DAILY PRAYER (BRING SALVATION) - JUNE 20, 2012

June 20


Father in Heaven,


Bless those who wrong us, and point their lives towards Christ.  Give compassion and mercy to those who have wandered down the wrong path, and place their foot upon a firm rock.  Where satan has wrought corruption and evil, wash it away with the blood of the lamb.  Where there is destruction and violence, repair it with new beginnings and peace.  Destroy the stronghold of the enemy in their minds, hands, and hearts. 


Father God, we are plagued by evildoers who have no sense of wrong.  Restore in them a right conscience - leading of the Holy Spirit.  Bring them to their knees in repentance vs. to a cell of iron bars.  Lead others to forgive them, as You have forgiven each of us in our transgressions.  Give them a way to retreat from the pit of sin, and strengthen them as they seek to do Your will.


We pray for an end to senseless destruction of property, human lives, and eternal souls.  We rebuke satan and his agents of chaos in the Mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  May the enemy retreat from his strongholds, and never return to the reclaimed ground in Christ's name.  Restore order and peace in the campsites of the enemy, and let Your light shine upon territory that was dark and evil.


The Authors personal petition (for wherever two or more at gathered) - For the situation in our neighborhood where arson is rampant...restore peace and order to the darkness, and remove the cloak of evil that lurks in the shadows.  Bring the perpetrator(s) to the knowledge of salvation, and let them place their burdens at the foot of the cross.  Have mercy on their souls Father, and hear our prayers for their redemption.


We pray this in the name of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen!
