Prayer for America 07/15/06

Lord, it's good to know that our prayers don't need to be lofty and grand. We just need to speak from our hearts.

We Americans value friendship, Lord. How else could we have made our country what it is, if not by sticking together and helping each other? Thank you for friends. Help us be good friends to everyone we know and love.

We value freedom and independence. Thank you, Lord, for our right to choose. Guide us in making the right choices.

We value our work, and we work hard for what we have. Thank you for the strength to support ourselves and our families.

Friendship, freedom, and rightful pride may be homely virtues, Lord, but they come from our hearts.
