A prayer for America

America, the Beautiful: by Katherine Lee Bates

O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties, above the fruited plain.
America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for pilgrim feet, whose stern impassioned stress, A thoroughfare for freedom beat, across the wilderness.
America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul with self control, thy liberty in law.

O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years, Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears.
America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

Dear God, thank you for creating this beautiful United States of America.  What a wonderful land filled with such magestic beauty stretching in all directions across America.  You have given us strength, courage, and wisdom to maintain the liberty and freedom of this country. Please continue to bless the military as they protect us and this precious land. May America continue to accept people of all nationalities to live a life of freedom. As our forefathers believed,
In God We Trust.
God Bless America. Amen
