  Speaker 1: And it's time for us to go to God in prayer,
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: and as always, I invite you to join along with
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: me in prayer. You know, this weekend, our nation celebrates
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years, and I just believe that
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: as a praying people, as people of God, we should
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: pray daily for our nation. Heavenly Father, Today we come
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: before you with grateful hearts as we thank you for
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: your hand upon our nation, upon the United States of America.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: As we celebrate two hundred and fifty years of history.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We recognize that every generation has witnessed both triumphs and trials,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: victories and valleys, moments of great courage, and seasons that
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: called us to repent. Through it all, Lord, you've remained faithful. Father.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: We pause today to thank you for the freedoms we
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: often take for granted here in the United States. The
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: freedom to worship, the freedom to pray, the freedom to gather,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the freedom to speak, the opportunity to pursue the dreams
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that You've placed within our hearts. We remember those who sacrifice,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: those who served, those who gave of themselves so that
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the future generations could experience liberty. We're grateful, Lord, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we do not take these blessings lightly. But Father, as
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: we celebrate our nation's past, we also humble ourselves before
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you concerning its future. Your word declares that if your people,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: who are called by your name, will humble themselves, pray,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: seek your face, and turn from their wicked ways, then
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you will hear from heaven forgive our sins and heal
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: our land. So today, Lord, we ask you to begin
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: with us. Search our hearts. God, purify our motives, draw
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: us closer to You. Lord, Bring your healing where there's division.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Replace hatred with love, confusion with wisdom, fear with faith,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: bitterness with forgiveness. Teach us once again how to honor
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: one another, how to serve one another, how to recognize
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that we are stronger when we stand together than when
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: we are divided. Father, we pray for every leader serving
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: our nation. Grant them wisdom beyond their own understanding. Lead
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: them to pursue justice, mercy, integrity and truth. God, let
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: them seek what is right rather than what's popular, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: let their decisions reflect compassion and righteousness. God, we pray
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: for our families, our schools, our churches, our communities, our
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: first responders, our military, and all who faithfully serve. Place
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: your headge of protection around them. God, strengthen those who
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: are weary, comfort those who are grieving, restore those who
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: have lost hope. Lord, we pray especially for the next generation.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Raise up young men, Raise up young women who will
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: love you wholeheartedly, who will walk in integrity, who will
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: lead with courage, and who will use their gifts to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: bless this nation and this world. Let them be known
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: not merely for their success, but for their character and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: their unwavering faith. And Now, Father, we declare that our
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: hope is not found in government. Our hope is not
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: found in economies or human ability. Our hope is founding
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you and you alone. You are the one who raises
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: up nations and sustains them. You are our refuge, You
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: are our strength, and you are ever present help in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: times of trouble. As we celebrate two hundred and fifty years, God,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: let us not forget that every blessing comes from your hand. God,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: May gratitude feel our hearts. Humility, God, Our steps and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: faith shape our future. Bless this nation, Lord, heal this land.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Let revival begin in our hearts and spread from coast
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to coast unto your love, your truth, your righteousness shines
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: brightly for generations to come in Jesus' name. Amen, Amen,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and Amen.
