I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.” [1]   LORD God, here we are again, boldly entering Your presence on behalf of our beloved A m e r i c a .   This “shining city upon a hill,” as President Reagan called her in his January 11, 1989, farewell address, today is greatly dimmed. You, my LORD, know President Reagan took this phrase from the 1630 sermon of John Winthrop to the Massachusetts Bay colonists. Reagan stated, “…Winthrop…wrote it to describe the America he imagined.” [2]   As true believers, we know Jesus said it first, speaking of those who are born-again of His Spirit. Jesus called us “…the salt of the earth…” and warned about losing our saltiness. But then He said, “You are the light of the world…” like a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden. [3] We, LORD, who have Your Word in our he...

  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash O LORD my God, the One True and Living God, I bow in Your presence today.   Thank You, O holy One of Israel, for my whole being, my health, my talents and abilities, and everything I am. You alone are the One who holds my life in Your hand. In Jesus, You chose me before the foundation of the world that I should be holy, set apart for You, and blameless before You in love. By Christ Jesus, You blessed me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, and You did all this for the praise of the glory of Your grace. [1]   By Your grace or You giving me something I did not deserve, You predestined me and adopted me as a son according to the good pleasure of Your will.

[3] This is only because Jesus became flesh and died for my sins as my...

They can grow independent of big government while following the law. They can start a business and become successful because they provide a good product.   You, O LORD, founded a free enterprise system here in A m e r i c a , and this has helped to make A m e r i c a great. We know You gave us the ability to create, work hard, make something of ourselves, and to live in physical freedom in A m e r i c a .   Socialism is a caste system disguis...

  Mayflower - www.britannica.com Although I’m tempted to write another article on the lawlessness we see, I’m not. Instead, I’m going to focus on good, especially since we are about to celebrate A m e r i c a ’ s 2 5 0 th B i r t h d a y . Lately, as I travel from here to there, I am blessed by the A m e r i c a 2 5 0 decorations. I have no idea the political beliefs of those who dwell in the beautifully adorned homes, but I know in my heart they love our country and are proud to be an A m e r i c a n .   Have you seen any of the interviews with World Cup Soccer Games visitors? These international guests can’t seem to say enough good about how amazing A m e r i c a is—that it is unlike any other country in the world—and how our people are so friendly.   While their words make my heart swell with gratitude, I know why we are this different, and so do you.

Help us to remember the former things: The wars that were fought, the men who died, first to make this country free, and then to keep it free and preserve our O N E N a t i o n u n d e r G o d . We look to You for salvation—both physically and spiritually—for You are God, and there is no other. [1] There is none like You who has declared the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things not yet done.   For You were the One who said, “My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.” [2]   Thank You, LORD God Almighty, for the prosperity You have given A m e r i c a and the f r e e d o m we have enjoyed for the past 2 5 0 y e a r s .
