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 8 - DAILY PRAYER (THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA) - JUNE 1, 2014

June 1

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name; may we keep it Holy and pure throughout all of South Carolina, and this great nation.

thy kingdom come; Father, we look forward to Your return, and ask that You would help prepare the hearts and minds of the people of South Carolina for Your coming.  That they would be ready, and prepared for an eternal life with You in Heaven.

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Father, help the people of South Carolina lead the people's of this nation in keeping Your commandments, seeking Your will daily, and proclaiming Your goodness and authority with humble lips.

Give us this day our daily bread; Supply the most basic needs of the people of South Carolina (food, clothing, shelter, love, hope, and a relationship with Your Son).

and forgive us our trespasses, Father God, forgive the many sins of this state, and wash the people and this land in the saving blood of Jesus Christ.  Cleanse the stains of war and slavery from their past, and see no more the trespasses of their deeds.

as we forgive those who trespass against us; Create in the people of South Carolina a new heart for the people of the North.  Break the bonds of hatred that have been carried from the past, and establish a new peace from this day forward.  Let men and women work together for the good that You have established for us, and allow the works of your hands and feet to be pleasing in Your sight.

and lead us not into temptation, Lord, protect the thoughts and hearts of the people of South Carolina from the will of the Evil one.  Give to them wisdom of what is wrong in Your sight, and help them to flee from evil.


but deliver us from evil. Protect the people and land of South Carolina from calamity and disorder as planned by the Evil one.  Allow the people of South Carolina to live in peace, and to be freed from the strongholds that Satan wishes them to be enslaved to.  Place a hedge of protection upon those who love you, and release the lost to find relief in Your Son, Jesus Christ.   

"For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever." (Matthew 6:13)

Amen
