In the spirit of humility, we ask You to open the hearts of Americans and draw us to seek You and Your purposes above all else.

We humbly ask You to remove our fabrications of who you are, and for You to reveal Yourself to us.

Almighty God, create in us hearts to please You and bring You honor. 

We pray that we Americans will honor You in speech, and resist abuses of Your name.

In the Name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray.

Amen and amen!
