Prayer for America 10/05/05

God, we are here on earth with a purpose: to do your will in whatever way we can in our daily life and work.

Our ancestors came to America filled with purpose. They came with the will to do what was needed to make our country prosper, to make America great and pleasing to your eyes. They worked hard and unfailingly. With each turn of the spade, each mile of prairie, and each prayer, our ancestors turned America into the great and prosperous country we live in today.

Help us add to this greatness. However humble our tasks, let us do our daily work with you, Lord, and with our country always in mind. Fill us with purpose, and grant us knowledge of your will for us and our glorious land. Let our children and grandchildren state proudly that we, too, did God's work for the good of all America.
