"Looking for the guidance of that Divine Hand by which the destinies of nations and individuals are shaped, I call upon you Senators, Representatives, judges, fellow citizens, here and everywhere to secure to our country the blessings, not only of material property, but of justice, peace and union - a union depending not upon the constraint of force but upon the loving devotion of a free people; and that all things may be so ordered and settled upon the best and surest foundations that peace and happiness."Patriot's Prayer: Father God, protect our nation so that we can be the light of salvation and freedom -political as well as spiritual - in this sin-darkened world.
Patriot's Promise: The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, And give you peace~Numbers 6:24-26
