Lord, this is my prayer on this sad historic day. You know the hearts of man. You alone can faithfully discern lie from truth. You control the tongue. As you did with Balaam, do not allow lies against your righteous to prevail. Let truth win the day, for You are the Way, the Truth and…

Lord, You have been with me since that sunny afternoon on a campus lawn when You made yourself known to me. You were with me in the heated arguments when the anger clouded my vision. You were with me when I was a mere lump of tears. You stood by me through the rebuilding. You…
