Lord, we thank you for this nation…
For this land… we call home
For the small towns and the city streets…
For the fireworks and front porches…
For the road trips… the late summer nights… and the backyard conversations…
For the churches that still open their doors…
And for the families gathered around tables…
For the freedoms… we did not earn…
And for the blessings… we could never repay
For the sacrifices made long ago…
And for those who carried this nation forward…
For every soldier…Every parent…
Every worker… teacher… and neighbor
For every ordinary person… who helped build and protect this home
We Thank You
And now God, we pray for our nation…
Not just for our success…
But for our character
Teach us to lead with humility…
To serve with compassion…
And to never take these freedoms for granted
Because this is more than just a country…
This is our home
This is the place we raise our children…
The place we love our neighbors…
The place we worship freely, pursue what is good, and learn to hope again
And so today…
From sea to shining sea…
From mountain peaks… to open plains…
And from generation to generation…
May freedom ring
May grace lead us
May wisdom guide us
And may courage strengthen us
May we never forget:
That every good gift comes from You
And so this is our prayer:
God, bless America…
In the name of Jesus we pray
Amen
