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 29 - DAILY PRAYER (REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY) - JUNE 22, 2013

June 22

Holy and Supreme Father,

We honor You today in our time of prayer and reflection upon Your holiness. You alone are worthy of our honor and praise, as You alone created the heavens and the earth. Your holy word tells us that You toiled for six days on Your creation, and on the seventh day rested. As You are in us, and we are in You, we must also give ourselves unto Your great example. We must also work diligently throughout the week, and then take a day of rest from the work of our hands as You did. We are compelled to honor You on this day of rest, as it allows us to fully devote our hearts, mind, and spirit to a time of thanksgiving and worship with You alone. Help us to faithfully rest once a week, and reflect upon Your perfect example of work followed by rest. Help us to offer our day of rest to You in thanks for the grace and blessings we have received throughout the week. We love You and honor You beautiful Father God. And we long to be more and more like You with each passing day...a work that was begun by You alone, and will be perfect when completed by You alone.

We pray in Jesus' name. Amen!
