Prayer for America
Written by Lloyd Ogilvie
Chaplain, United States Senate

Gracious God, all that we have and are is a result of Your amazing generosity. Since September 11th,
in the battle against terrorism, we have discovered again that You truly are our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.

We rededicate ourselves to be one nation under You. In You we trust. We reaffirm our accountability
to You, to the absolutes of Your Commandments, and to justice in our society.

Bless our President, Congress, and all our leaders with supernatural power. We commit ourselves to be
 faithful to You as Sovereign of our land and Lord of our lives.  Amen.

ALERT: We ask you to join us in reading this prayer at 12:00pm on May 2, 2002, wherever you are. As we come together, a huge wave of prayer will flow across our nation, expressing the unity of God's people and acknowledging His sovereignty. Thus, we will highlight this year's theme, "America United Under God."
