🇺🇸 July 4, 2026, Today's Prayer 🇺🇸 Scripture of the Day "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15:13 (NIV) Heavenly Father, Thank You for the freedom we enjoy and for the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much to protect it. Today, we remember with grateful hearts that freedom has never come without sacrifice. Lord, Your Word reminds us that there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. Help us never forget those who have served, sacrificed, suffered, and given their lives for others. Comfort the families who carry the weight of those sacrifices every day. Thank You for this nation, for its blessings, and for the opportunities You have given us. Help us never take our freedom for granted. May we honor You in all we do and stand for what is right with courage, faith, humility, and love. Bless our leaders with wisdom, our families with unity, our communities with kindness, and our land with peace. Heal our nation where there is division. Teach us to love one another, respect every life, show grace even when we disagree, and seek Your will above our own. Lord, protect those who serve our country today. Watch over our military members, veterans, first responders, and their families. Give strength to the weary, comfort to the grieving, hope to the discouraged, and peace to those carrying wounds that others cannot see. Above all, remind us that true freedom is found in Jesus Christ. Thank You for the greatest sacrifice of all, the sacrifice made on the cross for our sins, our salvation, and the promise of eternal life. May we celebrate today with gratitude, remember yesterday with honor, and walk into tomorrow with faith. In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen. ✝️🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 Stacey
