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 38 - DAILY PRAYER (PRAYER FOR THE FEET OF READINESS) - JULY 1, 2013

July 1

Anointed One,

We thank You this day for the legs and feet that we walk upon. Father, for those of us that do not have legs or feet, we pray for their swift mobility in every circumstance. We also pray today for the spiritual fitting of our feet with a readiness to share Your gospel message with everyone that we encounter. That we might be bold in not only delivering Your word, but also in preparing to go out into all the world armed with it. May we diligently pray for a great equipping of Your word for our journey. Father, help us to run confidently into the battlefield, secure in the saving grace of Your word, and the knowledge that You will be with us.

In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen!
