Prayer for America 03/06/06

You are eternal, O God!
Your word will endure as long as the heavens shine above us.
We thank you that you have remained faithful to all
generations and that we can continue to count on you.
Help us to know your teachings, O God.
Your laws are life itself.
Guide us in all we do, and we will try to be
as faithful to you as you are to us.
show us your laws, that we may obey you with all our hearts.
We yearn to be your unwavering followers, dear God.
Give us the strength to do what is right and
to follow closely the path you have prepared for us.
We stand ready to take the path that leads to life.
Show us the way. Amen.
