  We would ask Your leadership in the decisions that need to be made to 
keep this country great. Help us to put aside our personal feelings and 
do what is right for this great Nation and the people of this Nation.
  Lord, we would ask You to help all the States that have had 
catastrophes the past few months. Continue to heal and restore back the 
things that have been lost or destroyed in these events.
  We are so thankful for Your watch care over us. Keep us free from the 
tyranny of those who want to take our freedom away. Watch over our men 
and women in the military.
  We appreciate the liberty You have so graciously blessed us with. We 
want to give You all the praise and the honor and the glory, and we 
thank You for it.
  In Jesus' name we pray.
  Amen.
