Memory Verse Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord Psalms 33:12 NASB
1 Kings 14 Psalms 11
“Roused by danger and alarmed at attempts, foreign and domestic, to reduce the people of this country to a state of abject and detestable slavery by destroying that free and happy condition of government under which they have hitherto lived, We, who subscribe this paper, have associated and do bind ourselves to each other, to God, and to our country, by the firmest ties that religion and virtue can frame, most sacredly and punctually to stand by and with our lives and fortunes, to support, maintain, and defend each other in the observance and execution of these following articles – (Francis Lightfoot Lee Leedstown resolves)
". . .exhorting ministers and people of all denominations to assemble for divine worship; that we may with becoming humility, and united hearts, confess and bewail our manifold sins and transgressions, and by repentance and reformation obtain pardon and forgiveness of all our offenses, through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our only savior. Also, to offer up fervent supplications to almighty God the father of mercies, that he may bless the United States of America, gives wisdom and integrity to our national council, direct their proceedings at this important crisis, in such manner as shall best promote the union, prosperity and happiness of the nation: – That it may graciously pleas him to smile upon and bless the people of this state, inspire our civil rulers with wisdom and integrity becoming their station: bless his sacred ambassadors, and cause pure and undefiled religion to flourish, grant us health and plenty; prosper us in all our lawful employments, and crown the year with his goodness; succeed the means of education, extend the peaceful influence of the redeemer’s kingdom, and dispose all nations to live as brethren in peace and amity, and fill the world with the knowledge and glory of God." ( Samuel Huntington https://wallbuilders.com/proclamation-fasting-humiliation-prayer-1789-connecticut/)
