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 40- DAILY PRAYER (PRAYER FOR THE HELMET AND SWORD) - JULY 3, 2013

July 3

Helmet of Salvation

Lord, I am so grateful for my salvation! It is the most wonderful gift You have ever given me. It changed my life and set me free; it brought healing to my body and deliverance to my mind. I want to wrap the knowledge of all that my salvation includes around my mind so tightly that the devil can never steal these benefits from my life. Holy Spirit, I ask You to help me study and to understand everything Jesus purchased for me at the Cross. Reveal it to me; convince me of its truth; and help me to wear that revelation knowledge on my head like a mighty, fortified, spiritual helmet!

I pray this in Jesus' name!



Sword of the Spirit

My dear Holy Spirit, I submit myself to You again today. Continue to cultivate a spirit of sensitivity in my heart that I respond actively to Your voice and miracles (works from You) You perform around me. I thank for Your continual transforming of my inner soul - my mind for perceiving You, my will for submitting to You, and my desire for experiencing You, and also thank for Your people whom You led close to me and spoke Your words to me. An experienced pastor prayed for me, "May God renew you first before you are sent to bless the others." I pray that these words will be fulfilled in my life according to Your Grace and Work in me.
