Gracious Father, on this day celebrating freedom in the United States, we ask for your continued blessings upon our nation. Guide our leaders, that their decisions bring order and justice to our society. Give to our citizens thankful hearts for the freedoms with which they have been blessed. Strengthen our nation and bring us together, united in the desire for peace among our citizens. Most of all, we ask that Your saving Gospel message may continue to be preached and taught freely to Your glory and for the saving of many souls. In the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who earned our freedom from sin, death and the power of the devil, we pray. Amen.
