Prayer for America 12/03/05

Dear God, be our shelter from the turbulent storms that threaten to blow us about like feathers in the wind. Be the foundation that we build our house of hope upon. Comfort us when we are afraid and confused. Be the guiding light that helps us find our way back home to where our loved ones wait for us. And one day lead us into paradise to spend eternity with those we have loved and lost. Amen.

It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate, to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance. President Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Martha Jefferson, March 28, 1787
