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 13 - DAILY PRAYER (PRAYER FOR GOD'S PROTECTION) - JUNE 6, 2013

June 6

PRAYER FOR GOD’S PROTECTION

(In perilous times)

Note: This is a prayer for anyone who is trusting in the Lord, no matter what your situation in life (military, parent, student etc.): also use as a personal prayer by substituting the "we and our" with "I and my."

Heavenly Father, in the name of Your precious Son, Jesus Christ, we call upon Your Holy Name in perilous times, and we ask You for Your divine protection over our lives and all of the necessities that sustain us, and that we may obtain mercy and find grace in times of need. You are a mighty God, a God Who is not only all-powerful, but the One Who stores our tears in a bottle, and the One Who cried aloud from the heart of Your Son, Jesus Christ, grieving over the lost sheep of Israel with outstretched arms.

We will turn to You, Oh Lord, Our God and Father of Jesus Christ, the image of God on earth, Who saved us. We will stay our minds on You because You are:

ELOHIM - Creator of heaven and earth


EL-SHADDAI - God Almighty Who nourishes/supplies


ADONAI - Lord over all


JEHOVAH-JIREH - Sees my needs and provides


JEHOVAH RAPHA - My healer & makes bitter experiences sweet


JEHOVAH M’KADDESH - The Lord my sanctifier


JEHOVAH NISSI - My victory and banner


JEHOVAH SHALOM - You are my peace


JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU - You are my righteousness


jEHOVAH - ROHI - You are my Shepherd


JEHOVAH - SHAMMAH - You never leave or forsake me


EL-ELYON - First Cause, Highest Sovereign

We (or I) most humbly commit to you (name the people or things that you are committing to Him) for Your sovereign protection.

In our weaknesses, please strengthen us.

We will trust in the name of our God, in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. Amen!
