Prayer to praise God for the birth of our kingdom

Bible Reading:
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and there is freedom as to where His Spirit is.” – 2 Corinthians 3:17

Some consider the birth of our country a miracle. William J. Federer has created strong faith and miracles in American history authors, historians and speakers, writing that “we can gain inspiring faith from past leaders. The founders sacrificed prosperity for their descendants.” The American founders were leaders who faced the ruthless and brutal tactics of the British army and achieved what seemed impossible and unattainable, taking into account the military odds in modeling courage and self-sacrifice, a truly heroic and prominent achievement, to model courage and self-sacrifice to create a new nation.
America’s Founding Father put everything at risk for freedom
Federer states, “History is filled with accounts of coercion and persecution by an unsurmounted, painted, painted, cancelled, crushed, crushed Godless totalitarian government, but crushed in a hopeless situation against insurmountable odds, but then, upset by spirit, the little nobodies rise, small in their own eyes, brave faith and courage. The founding father of America risked losing everything, reputation, home, land, even life, to create a free nation. The 56 men, ages 26 to 70 who signed the declaration, consisted of men of all walks, including farmers, merchants, lawyers, doctors, ministers, printers, teachers, musicians, and more. They faced a situation of life and death, and knowing whether they were caught by the British, they would certainly have been hanging on treason. Benjamin Franklin summed up the very real threat by writing, “We must actually hang everything, or most certainly hang them separately.”
America’s Founding Father recognized God as the source of our freedom
The American founder’s true enemy of giving birth to a freely established new nation is not only physical, but spiritual, and the first spiritual meeting at the American Continental Congress on September 7, 1774, and the Lord’s Lord, who begins with prayer, poetry, 35 readings of the Rev. Jacob Duchez’s poetry, sal and words, and serves “a conflict with those who oppose me.” This diverse group of men from different backgrounds, successes and achievement levels puts aside the differences in denomination, men of those who stand together to pray for American freedom, consisting of congregations, Anglicans, Quakers, Baptists, Baptists, Lutherans, Puritans and Presbyterians.
Federer states that in his letter to his wife, the first vice president of the United States and the second president, John Adams, explained his prayers: a very well-proclaimed man.”
“Great Awakening” helped prepare for America’s birth
Many historians have acknowledged the “Great Awakening,” a spiritual revival that precedes the birth of America. This has a major impact and strengthens patriot leaders across the colony, from the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which played an important role in helping prayer and fasting establish American freedom.
Dr. Jerry Newcomb, executive director of the Providence Forum, explains how important spiritual concerns are to the first president of the United States. “Prayer was important to George Washington. He had a pocket-sized edition of the Anglican ordinary prayer book he used all the time. Many times he thanked God for his help in making us an independent country.”
Let’s pray:
Dear Father,
Our nation praises the birth of our nation and believes that our nation has been established through your hands and God’s guidance through the lives of our founders. We are grateful to the great faith man who is the founder of America, the founder of you who is your former founder, the man who trusted in trusting you and leading them to the birth of our nation’s freedom. We cherish the birth of our great nation, founded on the basis of your respectful principles of the United States of America, strengthening our citizens and our entire nation.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
