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 2- DAILY PRAYER (THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA) - MAY 26, 2014

May 26

Almighty God, Provider of freedom through Your Son Jesus

Today we come to the throne with praise and thanksgiving for Pennsylvania, the second state to join the union.  Father, Pennsylvania has blessed American's with Freedom and Brotherly Love, words and actions that come from Your word.  Bless the people of Pennsylvania, and bring them to a true understanding of Your love.  Let the very embodiment of Your Son, Jesus Christ be the source of all love and freedom throughout the state and across the nation from Pennsylvania's borders.

Father, we thank you for the founding fathers who established our country, and their leadership in calling upon You for Your blessings upon a united nation.  Bless the works of those before us, and continue to honor their dreams of a free and Godly nation.  May the desires and prayers of our forefathers be honored today in Pennsylvania, and may Your covenant with those early Christians be upheld throughout the centuries.  Bless their offspring, and allow their great inheritance to know You as their God.

We ask for the forgiveness of any sinful nature across the state of Pennsylvania, and especially those that are abominations in Your eyes.  Forgive the people of Pennsylvania for enacting acceptance of Gay marriage in their state, and for fostering ideals that do directly against Your word.  Father, do not send Your wrath upon them, but bring them to repentant hearts through Your love.

Stretch out Your mighty hand over Pennsylvania, affording the people protection from calamity and chaos.  Protect the land and people of Pennsylvania from natural and man made disaster.  Father God, lead Governor Tom Corbett in all wisdom and understanding, allowing him to lead the state into righteousness.  Guide the decisions and laws of the state and local government, and guide the laws to reflect Your laws.

Lover of should, we ask that you would protect, heal, empower and protect the underprivileged, sick, weak, orphaned, widowed, and destitute throughout the state, and give them hope in Your son.  Protect the minds of the innocent, and shelter the children from harm.  Break the bonds of addiction throughout the land, and set the people free from the bondage that Satan has imposed.  Remove his power of influence across the state, and give victory to those who seek You.

We humbly seek You in these requests, through the mighty name of Your son Jesus Christ.  Amen!
