This is our song, O God of all the nations, a song of peace for lands afar and ours. What a beautiful prayer to sing as we continue to celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary. May freedom ring in this land and may we always strive to be a nation of liberty and justice for all. This is our song, O God of all the nations.
Thank you for today’s psalmist who reminds us to remember our faith history, to rejoice that you are the King of kings and Lord of lords, and to revere you as the One who sent us Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah who lived, who died, and who rose again. To you alone be all glory, power, and honor, and in the words of our psalmist, “may the peoples praise you forever and ever.”
Thank you for being a King who has given us an example in what it means to be citizens of your heavenly kingdom, a kingdom of sacrificial love and humble service. And thank you for being a King who hears our prayers, especially for those who are in need of healing, comfort, guidance, and peace. We lift all of our prayers concerns to you.
On this Independence Day Weekend, we especially pray for our country, its leaders, and its peoples that we would not take our freedoms and the high ideals of this great nation for granted, but to always strive to be a shining light of hope and peace for those near and far.
This is our song. This is our prayer, O God of all the nations, even as we offer this prayer that always reminds us that we are first and foremost citizens of your kingdom that has no end. Let us pray together…
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
