4th of July Prayer

Lord, we pray that the ropes that bind our nation together, though frayed, will never break; that the greatest of our natural resources – the love of our people – will abound, flowing even beyond our shores; that our flinty determination will cause sparks of innovation to fly but never set wildfires of anger that we are not big enough to extinguish. And most of all, that you will be with us, as you have always been. Amen.

Joshua DuBois, The President’s Devotional
