Driven to Our Knees

“The Prayer at Valley Forge” by Arnold Friberg 

Only when America willingly drops to her knees in deference to the Almighty Author of Liberty will the chains of captivity around her neck be loosed.
American Exceptionalism is merely one aspect of Human Exceptionalism. Being children of a loving Heavenly Father, we are of noble lineage. Exceptionalism is the expectation.
When America is strong in her faith, the world prospers. When America is weakened, the world trembles. Liberty is threatened, and men are driven to their knees by tyrants.

God bless America. May she always look to her God and be that shining city on a hill that cannot be hid. May America always wave the banner to which the nations flock. May the remembrance of the captivity of our fathers, before this nation was, drive us to our knees in humility, that we may rise in strength and stand in the Liberty wherewith God has made us free.
