Pastor Nate’s Weekly Prayer for LCR
For Our Nation: Lord, we live in a nation where
freedom and justice are cornerstones of our
identity. Bless our land with honest leaders and
and engaged citizens. Save us from the
temptation of pride and greed. Teach us to be
thankful during times of prosperity. In times of
of trouble, teach us to trust in you. Amen.
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the
LORD, And all the families of the nations will worship
