by Jeff McDermott Heavenly Father, We thank you for this day. We thank you for our many blessings. As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, we are so thankful for the faith, virtue and courage of our founding fathers who risked everything. We thank you for their deep faith and biblical worldview. We acknowledge that Our Rights are granted to us by You, our Creator, and not by an earthly king or government. We only bow to you, Lord, the One Tru

Heavenly Father, the earth is Yours, and everything in it [Psalm 24:1]. We give thanks to you for the blessings you have bestowed upon the United States of America. Everything we have comes from Your hand, and we give to You these tithes and offerings as an act of worship and thanksgiving, honoring You with the firstfruits of our blessings [Proverbs 3:9-10]. Multiply these gifts to advance Your kingdom, bringing hope to the weary and freedom to the captives in our community.

Almighty Father, we come before you today to express our gratitude for your grace and mercy. You, Lord have heard our cries for mercy and you accept our prayers. Through the power of Jesus’s death and resurrection, you have grafted us into your kingdom and made us heirs together with Israel, members together of one body who share together in the promise of Christ Jesus. I pray that you will strengthen us with the power of the Holy Spirit for Christ to dwell in our hearts. Giv
