A prayer for our country....The following prayer was offered before the Senate on July 4th, 1861. I think it still applies.
"Almighty and everlasting God, be not angry with us for our sins; but pardon our offenses and extend to us Thy favor. We thank Thee for all Thy manifold and abundant mercies, but now disasters have befallen us and darkness broods in the land. We beseech Thee to guide us, to overrule and order all things, and so to cause that nothing shall fail, that the disorders of the land may be speedily healed, that peace and concord may prevail, that truth and righteousness may be established, and that Thy Church and Kingdom may flourish in a larger peace and prosperity, for Thy Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ's sake. Amen."
