Prayer
Almighty God,
We gather before You with hearts full of gratitude as we honor our nation today. Thank You for the gift of freedom, peace, and identity. As we raise our flag, may it remind us of the sacrifices made and the values we are called to uphold—faith, courage, unity, and service.
Bless our leaders with wisdom and integrity. Guide every citizen, young and old, to walk in righteousness, compassion, and discipline. May we be instruments of change, peacemakers in conflict, and light in every dark place of our land.
Lord, stir in us a deep love for country—not just in words, but through action. May our lives reflect the beauty, strength, and purpose You intended for our nation.
We dedicate this day, this flag, and our future to You.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
