Prayer for America 03/16/06

It's a beautiful statue that keeps watch over New York Harbor, Lord God. With her torch held high above her head, she lights the way to this land where freedom still rings. Yes, Lady Liberty continues to herald hope for all who seek refuge from tyranny and oppression. Father, may America always be that place of freedom and reprieve for those who seek it. For the glory of your name, amen.

For this is what America is all about. It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge. It is the star that is not reached and the harvest that is sleeping in the unplowed ground. President Lyndon B. Johnson, Inaugural Address, January 20, 1965
