A prayer for the 4th of July

A prayer for the 4th of July

Liberating God, you have given us this good land as our heritage. Make us always remember your generosity and constantly do your will. Bless our land with honesty in the workplace, truth in education, and honor in daily life. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance; and from every evil course of action. When times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful; and, in troubled times, do not let our trust in you fail. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Merciful God, you give us the grace that helps in time of need. Surround the Bowman family with your steadfast love and lighten their burdens. May the power of your Spirit be with them in this time of distress, and give them a new mind and heart made whole in the name of the risen Christ. Amen.
