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 6 - DAILY PRAYER (SEXUAL RELATIONS) - MAY 30, 2013

May 30

Most Loving and Merciful Father,

We thank You for the price paid on the cross by Your one and only Son.  That through His death and resurrection, we might have our trespasses forgiven and the promise fulfilled of an eternal life with You.  Please hear our prayers today for repentance of our sins as a nation, and especially for the sin of adultery.  Father, we are an adulterous nation, and we repent now in Jesus' name!  The lusts of the flesh have been a major sin in this country since it's inception, even though it goes against Your commandments.  You have called each one of us to resist the temptations of the flesh, but so many of us have succumbed to the lies that satan feeds this world regarding sexuality and pleasure.  Many of us in this nation  have given into pre-marital pleasures, lewd thoughts, and everything else that defiles Your plans for us.  Forgive us as a nation for our sins of immorality, and our transgressions against Your laws.  Please forgive the early sins of our youth, and those of our adult years.  As we pass the responsibility for the purity of this nation onto the younger generation, we pray.  Lord, we ask today that You will guard the hearts and minds of our nations youth.  That the pressures of this world would not be too great for them to overcome.  Be ever present in this society and the daily relationships that form between boys and girls, men and women.  We ask also that You would guide the single and married adults of this nation into loving and true relationships that are pleasing to You.  Allow those who are lonely to find pleasing relationships that are in alignment with Your will, or at least help them to maintain a pure life of abstinence.   We pray against the schemes of satan to tempt us with suggestive advertising, sexually driven movies and images, and the host of other creative deceptions that he uses to ensnare the people of this great nation.  From our government to our households, may the laws of man begin to reflect Yours, limiting and closing the avenues to sexual immorality.  Equip the parents of this nation with a sense of morality, that they may guide their families in all righteousness.  Come against those that wish to pollute this nation with their wicked pursuit of sexual immorality, and guard us against their perverse idolitry.  And Father, we pray today that this nation will one day lead the world in transformation from an adulterous society, to one pleasing to You.

We ask all things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.  Amen!
