Let us take a moment to remember all those people in the world who are not free to seek life, liberty or happiness.
Let us pray...
O God,
you willed that the Jewish people be free from slavery
by their Egyptian captors.
You will that all people should be free to worship you without fear
and to celebrate their religious beliefs freely,
even if they have not yet found you.
Grant that those of us who live in this great nation
will thank you daily for our freedom,
and work for the freedom of others around the world
that do not yet have the freedom to practice their faith openly and proudly.
We seek your wisdom where hatred abounds,
and ask for humility to offer our good works to others who live in fear
and bondage.
We ask all this through Christ our Lord,
who frees us from sin and death through the wood of the cross.
Amen.
