the Continental Congress sat in Philadelphia, America has, from time to
time, set aside a national day of prayer. Under a law signed by
President Ronald Reagan, that day comes every year on the first
Thursday in May. Today, in our Nation's Capital and around the country,
we pause to acknowledge our reliance on almighty God, to join in
gratitude for His blessings, and to seek His guidance in our lives and
for our nation. ... Americans do not presume to equate God's purposes
with any purpose of our own. God's will is greater than any man, or any
nation built by men. He works His will. He finds His children within
every culture and every tribe. And while every human enterprise must
end, His kingdom will have no end. Our part, our calling is to align
our hearts and action with God's plan, in so far as we can know it. A
humble heart is not an indifferent heart. We cannot be neutral in the
face of injustice or cruelty or evil. God is not on the side of any
nation, yet we know He is on the side of justice. And it is the deepest
strength of America that from the hour of our founding, we have chosen
justice as our goal. In prayer, we offer petitions, because the Maker
of the Universe knows our cares and our needs. For our nation today,
the need is great, as young men and women face danger in our defense,
for the sake of freedom, and for the sake of peace.</p>
