Today is the first day of the Fortnight for Freedom, and this is my message to Obama and anyone who thinks they can take away American citizen’s religious freedom:
During this fortnight, I will have a post out everyday. One of the points of this campaign is to educate yourself, speak out, and be an advocate for religious freedom. I’m going to help you do that by sharing what I know about the mandate, and sharing the research I do on it. To begin with, here are links to some great resources to use during this fortnight.
Prayer for Religious Freedom
O God Our Creator,
from your provident hand we have received
our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
You have called us as your people and given us
the right and the duty to worship you, the only true God,
and your Son, Jesus Christ.
Through the power and working of your Holy Spirit,
you call us to live out our faith in the midst of the world,
bringing the light and the saving truth of the Gospel
to every corner of society.
We ask you to bless us
in our vigilance for the gift of religious liberty.
Give us the strength of mind and heart
to readily defend our freedoms when they are threatened;
give us courage in making our voices heard
on behalf of the rights of your Church
and the freedom of conscience of all people of faith.
Grant, we pray, O heavenly Father,
a clear and united voice to all your sons and daughters
gathered in your Church
in this decisive hour in the history of our nation,
so that, with every trial withstood
and every danger overcome—
for the sake of our children, our grandchildren,
and all who come after us—
this great land will always be “one nation, under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
A Drop in the Ocean
