Magna Carta, English Bill of Rights, and American Government
Heavenly Father –
We praise You as the Author of Liberty, the Purchaser of our Freedom, Deliverer from the clains of slavery to sin and death. We thank you for raising up Your people throughout the ages to fight for the Rights that You have given us and break the chains of slavery – physically, morally, spiritually.
As we passed a watershed time in history, the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, we recognize Your Word is the Greatest Magna Carta. And Your Word is living and ripples from eternity past, bursts into the present and continues into eternity.
We lift up our beloved America, all her people will turn back to You, and remember that all our Rights come from You. Protect our heroes, home and abroad who put themselves in harm’s way to protect our freedoms and keep us safe.
May we declare our dependence on You, the Author of Freedom, Justice, Righteous – Liberty. May we return to the faith of founders so that our nation may glorify Your Name. May America become a blessing in this world and the world to come.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen
for He is good;
His love endures forever.
