Prayer for the Protection of Religious
Liberty
O God our
Creator, from your provident hand we have received
our right
to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
You have
called us as your people and given us
The right
and the duty to worship you, the only true God,
and your
Son, Jesus Christ. Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit, you call
us to
live out
our faith in the midst of the world, bringing the light and the saving truth of
the Gospel
to every
corner of society.
We ask you
to bless us in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty. Give us the
strength of
mind and
heart to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened;
Give us
courage in making our voices heard on behalf of the rights of your Church and
the
freedom of
conscience of all people of faith.
Grant, we
pray, O heavenly Father, a clear and united voice to all your sons and
daughters
Gathered
in your Church in this decisive hour in the history of our nation, so that, with
every trial
withstood
and every danger overcome-for the sake of our children, our grandchildren, and
all
who come
after us-this great land will always be “one nation, under God, indivisible,
with liberty
and
justice for all.”
We ask this through Christ our
Lord.
