Prayer for America 10/11/05

Dear God, we're a nation of many peoples, ethnic backgrounds, beliefs, interests, and priorities. But, lately, Lord, I've sensed a new unity. We've remembered what it means to us--to all of us--to be Americans. We've been flying the flag, supporting our leaders, and thanking you for this great land. Help us to maintain that oneness, Father. help us to keep being grateful for our freedom and for one another. We pray that it won't take a crisis to inspire our patriotism.

Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in the bonds of fraternal feeling. President Abraham Lincoln
