Lord, thank you for special teachers and schools that take seriously their responsibilities to educate the rising generation on the history and sacrifices of our forbearers. Bless their efforts! Heavenly Father, prompt each of us to encourage those efforts and to prompt a similar focus in other education venues.
Help us to look for chances to converse with the young people in our lives about the headlines of the day and how today's news stories relate to our constitutional rights and responsibilities. Remind us that we are living in unique times that demand our involvement in the lives of young people to point out their blessed legacy from the past and the responsibilities that go with that birthright.
Dear Lord, we ask that You open the eyes, hearts and minds of today's youth so that they are willing to listen, explore and apply lessons of history to the issues of this day.
Lord, remind us that You offer the peace that passeth all understanding. Prompt us to be involved in this turbulent election season by educating ourselves, conversing with others, participating in getting others to make their voices known through voting and educating others.
And then, once we have enthusiastically done our part where You have planted us, give us that sense of calm that comes with trust in You. Hold us in the palm of Your hand.
