Almighty and merciful God, who in the midst of darkness and chaos filled the world with light, we thank and praise You for the gift of another day.
Knowing our unworthiness of such a gift, we beg You today to forgive us our sins and to banish the darkness of error and wickedness from our hearts. Help us to be good people, people of magnanimity and warmth, of generosity and hope.
Grant us wisdom so that we might recognize the right thing to do and courage so that we might do it. And grant us, our Nation, and our world the peace that only You can give. Amen.
And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?
—Thomas Jefferson
