Today I Pray…

Dear Lord our Father In Heaven,

Reach down from your throne on high and touch us with your glorious love.

The freedom we celebrate today, the holiday marking our independence as a nation. One nation under God, many overlook or have forgotten that fundamental motto of the United States of America. I lift those who continue to carry our flag of stars and stripes proudly. I ask Lord that we would remember the sacrifices.

Let us be thankful for the freedom we have, the freedom because of your sacrifice on the cross. We are alive because you died; we are freed from death because you rose again!

Be with us, Lord, keep us wrapped securely in your hands of love and safety. Thank you, Lord, for sending a strong breeze of responsibility and respect engulfing the many who won’t heed the warnings of fireworks vs. our dry land today. Keep us safe from stupid!

Help us to remember as we shout, “Let freedom ring,” that freedom isn’t free. Send a spirit of love and peace to those who have paid dearly for the freedom we celebrate today. Let us not forget!

Our world feels dark; while some of us hold up our countries flag with honor, some burn it. We are living in an age of disrespect and destruction. I thank you for your protection over those of us who belong to you. Open the ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind that all may have the opportunity to know you and your peace and freedom.

Thank you for your guiding hand upon all levels of our government that they would hold up your ways and standards and not the new wave of weirdness that lurks.

Lord, I lift our youth and ask for strength, godly leaders, and influence. Guard these young minds against the new agenda that is being taught, pushed, and publicized. These ways and teachings are opposite of yours, so we know where they derive from. Lord, I have grandchildren growing up in this culture, and to be honest, it makes me nervous.

I thank you for your hand upon those who look to you first! In your glorious name Lord Jesus I pray. Amen

Be blessed today, and Be Safe…Fireworks, one of the words in this compound is FIRE!!! Please be smart; please be careful! Thank you for joining me. 🥰
