Almighty God, our Father, we come into Your presence with hearts filled with gratitude for blessings unending and without fail that come from Your good and gracious hand. Help us to think the thoughts, possess the minds, and do the deeds which become those whose God is the Lord. May we ever be true to the high principles upon which this Nation was founded. Grant that peace and justice may live in every heart and increasingly prevail on this earth. When the hours are long and our duties weigh heavily upon us, undergird us with Your strength and power.

We pray to a God Who is always near to be "a very present help". Amen.
