In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will (Ephesians 1:11)

Let us pray: God our Father, we rejoice for the blessings of independence you have bestowed your people today. We pray for courage and strength for America. We pray that through your sovereign will, all citizens would perform their roles in protecting this free nation our ancestors have cultivated and developed. Grant us your Holy Spirit and guide us as we make this nation a haven for liberty and fairness for all. Amen.
