God our Father, Giver of life,
We trust the United States of America
to Your Loving Care.
You are the Rock on which this nation
was founded.
You alone are the true source
of our cherished right to life,
Liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Reclaim this land for Your Glory,
and dwell among Your people.
Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts
Of our nation's leaders.
Open their minds to the great worth of
Human life,
And the responsibilities that
accompany human freedom.
Remind Your people that true happiness
Is rooted
in seeking and doing Your will.
Grant us the courage to reject
the "culture of death."
Lead us in to a new millennium
of life.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
