This is the second of a series of prayers for individual states. For the remainder of the year, we will pray for one state each week. Below is an excerpt from the preamble of the constitution of Pennsylvania:
Preamble:
WE, the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, grateful to Almighty God for the blessings of civil and religious liberty, and humbly invoking His guidance, do ordain and establish this Constitution.Article 1, Section 3:
All men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences;Article 1, Section 4:
No person who acknowledges the being of a God and a future state of rewards and punishments shall, on account of his religious sentiments, be disqualified to hold any office or place of trust or profit under this Commonwealth.
Oh, Lord,
May the state of Pennsylvania continue to be grateful to You as the source of the blessings of civil and religious liberty. May they defend the freedom of religion. May their leaders humbly invoke Your guidance in their daily decisions. Amen.
