The American flag is more than cloth and color — it’s a symbol of the freedom, sacrifice, and unity that have shaped our nation's history. It represents those who fought and died to defend liberty, and the values of justice and perseverance that hold us together. Today’s devotional and prayer invite us to reflect on what the flag represents — not in division, but in honor. We thank God for the men and women who’ve served under it, for the freedoms we enjoy, and for the opportunity to seek His righteousness as a nation. Psalm 33:12 (NIV) reminds us: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.” As we lift this prayer, may we be reminded of our calling as believers — to be light in our land, and to pray faithfully for our leaders, communities, and future.
