One Nation, Under God

Dear Lord, we offer prayers for our country.

We pray for the North, South, East and West.
We pray for the empowered, we pray for the
oppressed.
We pray for the wealthy, we pray for the poor.
We pray for the aliens, and for the folks next door.
We pray for the righteous, we pray for the shamed.
We pray for the indignant, and for those we have
blamed.
We pray for the soldiers, how brave they must be.
We pray for the fearful, among them is me.
We pray for the angry, so filled with hate.
We pray for the peacemakers, will they speak too
late?
How did we get here? So far apart?
How can we ever be of the same heart?
Our country is floundering; in sin we are dressed.
Still, among all nations we have truly been blessed.
Lord, please dont forget us, forgive us, please do.
And help us to find our way back to you.
