America's
242nd Independence Day will be celebrated on
Wednesday, July 4, 2018.
Read and
Pray the Prayer written in 1791
for our
Nation, which still applies today!
First two
paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence:
"When,
in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among
the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of
nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That
to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of
government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation
on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
