O GOD OUR CREATOR, from your
provident hand we have received our right to life, liberty, and the pur- suit
of happiness. You have called us as your people and given us the right and the
duty to worship you, the only true God, and your Son, Jesus Christ. Through the
power and working of your Holy Spirit, you call us to live out our faith in the
midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel to
every corner of society. We ask you to bless us in our vigilance for the gift
of reli- gious liberty. Give us the strength of mind and heart to read- ily
defend our freedoms when they are threatened; give us courage in making our
voices heard on behalf of the rights of your Church and the freedom of
conscience of all people of faith. Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father, a clear
and united voice to all your sons and daughters gathered in your Church in this
decisive hour in the history of our nation, so that, with every trial withstood
and every dan- ger overcome—for the sake of our children, our grandchil- dren, and
all who come after us—this great land will always be “one nation, under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.” We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen ■
