Heavenly Father,
We are blessed by Your presence, amazed by Your grace, and dependent upon Your strength for every day. We praise You for Your abundant provision and we are forever grateful for Your strenghtening, sustaining love. We do not take these blessings for granted. We make it our Holy Ambition to glorify you as we offer our lives in devoted service to Your kingdom first and to our beloved country.
We pray for one another with the confidence that you hear repentant hearts and respond to those who humbly seek to obey You and live by Your wisdom.
We pray for personal renewal and robust faith, and a vibrant vision for the future. Remembering that righteousness exalts a nation, we turn to You and trust You to not only make us great, but to make us good.
We pray in the Name of God who is able to raise His dear Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to life and give us an Eternal Hope in Him. Amen.
Once again, I am so grateful to U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson for inviting me to deliver this prayer. I will forever be thankful for his courageous, lifelong service to our country.

Pastor, you knocked it out of the park!
Awesome. I'm not surprised, but thankful for your boldness and your willingness to share the gospel wherever you are.
Thanks, Pastor, for the powerful words before an audience that occasionally needs reminding that it functions under God's authority and serves not itself, but all of God's children. Thanks, too for the reminder that "righteousness exalts a nation."
"We turn to You and trust You to not only make us great, but to make us good."
I pray that our representatives heard and took that to heart.
Mike
