There is no place like home.

My heart is here. I am one with her.

And, no matter where I travel, no matter how beautiful the place, friendly the people or wonderful the experience, I feel deep gratitude to return again and stand in my own country.

I love my nation's people, cities, land, innovation and ideals.

Lord, America is the Land of Liberty.

Align me—and us—again with Liberty for All.

We are the land of tolerance, patience, and reverence for human life.

Bring us back to our ideals, filling us with deep understanding of how precious and fragile each life is.

As an American, I commit myself and my nation to being an instrument of Your Good.

As an American, I am filled with reverence and compassion for all human life.

It is my will that my country's leaders be guided by You for our sake and the sake of the world.

For, in today's world, we stand together or we fall together, as a nation and as a world.

We are all One in You, Lord.

Awaken us to this realization.

Lift America up out of the petty and into the profound.

Lift those who hate us—out of jealousy and fear—into true self love and healed lives.

For they are the flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone, even if they—or we—deny it.

I take the first step and, hereby, demand you lift America out of fear and into profound wisdom.

I affirm I am and we are Your Instrument of Enlightenment.

We are leaders.

And, by Your grace we now lead the world to a day without hunger, want or war in the world.

For this is our mission. This is why we were created.

We are the bringers of blessings and peace. And we matter.

Under Your Guidance, we fulfill our mission now.

And, so help us, God, we commit to it above all personal concerns.

Thank You for making me a citizen of The United States of America

And an instrument of Your Love.

I am profoundly grateful.

And so it is. Amen.
