A Prayer For Our Constitutional Republic

By William J. Dell – 20 March 2010

Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth, Thou who hast brought thy children, our ancestors, to this land which is choice above all other lands in search of freedom to seek Thee after their own consciences and too be free of the tyranny of oppressive rulers hear now our prayer as we send it on high to Thee.

Father, we acknowledge our error, as a nation, in not obeying the voice of the Lord our God, nor receiving correction from those whom Thou has sent to warn us. We acknowledge that in the name of progressivism that truth has perished in the education of our children; and, that they no longer learn and know of the greatness of those wise men whom Thou raised up to establish and preserve our Constitutional Republic. We acknowledge that in the name of progressivism we have allowed social-justice programs to eke away at the fiber of self-reliance which made this nation great. We acknowledge that we have not been vigilant in the election of our leaders and because of this, we as a nation are mourning at the impending loss of our freedom as wicked rulers seek to destroy that which came from Thee and for which so many gave the last full measure of devotion to establish and preserve. Father, we acknowledge the wickedness in high places -– in the halls of Congress and the Presidency. We pray Thee that Thou wouldst intervene in our behalf and preserve our Constitutional Republic from the brink of the destruction which we, as a nation, face. We pray Thee that Thou wouldst grant us the time and the will to remove from office those who would destroy this land, our freedoms and our inalienable rights to life, liberty and property all of which come from Thee.

We implore Thee, Almighty God, that thou wouldst hear the prayers of the righteous throughout the land who have awakened to the evil in high places of men and women who seek power for themselves and the chains of slavery for we, Thy children. Grant us time, O Father, to remove them from office because we understand and know that all they propose in the name of progressivism is designed to destroy our Constitutional Republic and to enslave us, Thy children, making us dependent on and servants of the welfare state. Grant us time, O Father, to elect good men and women, Statesmen who will return us to a nation of self-reliant citizens, Statesmen who will not spend more than the nation can sustain, Statesmen who will uphold the oath of their offices to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, Statesmen who will pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to the preservation of that Constitution and nation which Thou caused to be established.

Father, we humbly place our trust in Thee. We know, once again, that it is only through Thy providence and intervention “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” We, as a nation, collectively and individually, also pray for the desire and willingness to ever continue to “Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!” So that, “the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!” There to be a beacon of hope to all men and women everywhere, throughout the world, that mankind can truly be free from the tyranny of oppressive government. Grant us this our prayer in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and the Redeemer of the World. Amen.
