Almighty God,
 bless our nation
 and make it true
 to the ideas of freedom and justice
 and brotherhood for all who make it great.

 Guard us from war,
 from fire and wind,
 from compromise, fear, confusion.

 Be close to our president and our statesmen;
 give them vision and courage,
 as they ponder decisions affecting peace
 and the future of the world.

 Make me more deeply aware of my heritage;
 realizing not only my rights
 but also my duties
 and responsibilities as a citizen.

 Make this great land
 and all its people
 know clearly Your will,
 that they may fulfill
 the destiny ordained for us
 in the salvation of the nations,
 and the restoring of all things in Christ.

 Amen
