Prayer for America 08/01/06

A place to rest. A place to find solace. A place to rejuvenate. A place to soak in the beauty of nature. God, thank you for this great wide country that affords so many places to find what my soul is hungry for. Grant me, in the heart of these summer days, time to find such a place, even if it's in my own backyard. Help me stop to catch my breath, touch base with you, and revel in the pleasure of relaxation in the land of the free.

The strongest weapon that any nation has is simply this: love and respect for all humankind.
