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 14 - DAILY PRAYER (GUARD YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS) - JUNE 7, 2013

June 7

 All Knowing Father God,

Thank You for allowing us to know You Father; to know Your Son, and to have the very indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit within us.  You have set us apart for Yourself, and away from this world in which we live.  You have named us, and have counted each hair upon our head in great love for us.  With this great love, You have called us to follow You to the end of time...to stand upon the rock of salvation, and to not lose our footing. To hold tightly to Your truths, and to not become imitators of the world. How then Father is it that the enemy comes against us in the form of false prophets?  How is it that the enemy tries to steal us away from Your grasp, even to the end of our time here on earth?  Your word has warned us against false prophets (teachers), and the appearance that they may take to lure us away from Your truths.  They come in the form of great spectacles - television celebrities, sports figures, government leaders, and the wealthy.  Their very talk can often lead us away from the safety of Your fold, straight into the schemes of the enemy.  Their promises of 'miracles' and a 'new life' should cause fear in our hearts, but we are often mesmerized by their captivating image and flowing speech.  Father, help us to see them for what they really are, and to filter out their lies through the truth of Your word.  When they tell us that we can be healed through Eastern practices and rituals, or made joyful through meditation and self exploration, allow the light of truth to uncover their true scheme.  Help us to weed out the deception of idolizing these agents of the enemy, and allow our focus to lock onto the one true lover of our souls, Your son Jesus Christ.  May those with an agenda of deception that come into our lives be opposed by Your might. May the enemy be defeated, and his plans to kill, steal, and destroy be overthrown in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ.

We ask these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ.  Amen!
