Almighty God,

In all history, there has been
only one nation like America—
founded by pilgrims seeking
freedom to worship,
established on a vast continent
between two oceans,
dedicated to the proposition
that we are created equal
and endowed by our Creator
with certain unalienable rights:
One nation under God.

You have delivered us in war,
prospered us in peace,
and raised up generations willing
to offer the last full measure of their
devotion for the preservation of liberty
at home and abroad.

We have been a light for the world.

From our shoes has gone the
greatest missionary force in history.

But now, Lord, America has fallen into
darkness, disobedience, and indifference.

We have sinned; and we, Your people,
Lord, humble ourselves,
and pray and seek Your face,
and turn from our wicked ways.

Please forgive our sin and heal our land.

Give us leaders who understand the times
and know what we should do.

May the torch of liberty burn brightly,
inflamed by the goodness of Your people.

God, bless America.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen
