America was established by God fearing men
and women on biblical principles. In our public buildings, across the nation in
city halls and district courts, state capitol buildings, federal congressional
and executive offices, and in the Supreme Court, the immutable Word of God is engraved
into the very walls. These words—Scriptures, mottos and commandments—testify to
the people’s trust in God. Lord, save our nation, for Your Name’s sake!
In our founding documents, and in the
prayers and journals of our nation’s founding fathers, are acknowledgments of
God—His sacredness and sovereignty—and petitions for His grace, guidance, protection
and provision. Lord, save our nation, for
Your Name’s sake!
With every recitation of the pledge to the
flag, our national banner, we acknowledge we are “one nation under God.” With
every piece of currency, on every coin and dollar that passes from one hand to
another, we declare “in God we trust.” Lord,
save our nation, for Your Name’s sake!
Regardless of the opinions of some, the
world, for the most part, considers America a Christian nation. We are carriers
of His name, even as we live in a humanistic, pleasure-seeking, me-centered
society. America bears the name of Jesus in the fiber of her national identity.
Lord, save our nation, for Your Name’s
sake!
Jesus, return this great nation, America
the beautiful, to her Judeo-Christian roots, and let Your glory fill our land.
Bring another great awakening and revival to America in our generation. Return
us to our biblical foundations in the precious name of Jesus.
God, shed Your grace on America again: the
grace that saves and teaches us to live soberly and righteously in this world,
to bring glory and honor to You, for sin is a reproach to any people, but
righteousness exalts a nation. Lord, save
our nation, for Your Name’s sake!
