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 39- DAILY PRAYER (PRAYER FOR THE SHIELD OF FAITH) - JULY 2, 2013

July 2

Strong Tower, Fortress, Cornerstone, and Shelter,

We call upon Your Mighty strength today Father, as we lift up our voices to Your throne. We thank You for always being with us, and for Your promise to never leave us nor forsake us. Through faith, You have proven these promises to be true...over and over again. With this evidence of Your unfailing power and protection, let us lift up a great shield of faith in the battle. By hearing Your word, enable us to be strengthened against the attack of the enemy. Equip us with a mighty shield of faith, capable of withstanding all the flaming arrows that satan shoots in our direction. At the end of the day Father, help us to be victorious through Your word. Deliver us Lord from every evil, and set Your word strongly before us this day.

In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen!
