This is our nation's motto. Our motto asserts that we believe there is a God and that He is trustworthy and good. In 1954, Congress was concerned about the cultural decline from God/morality and added the words “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance. “Under” is not a statement of position, but more importantly of relationship. Because of God’s great love for us, we agree to follow His laws and precepts as outlined in our Judeo-Christian heritage. The foundation of our national spiritual heritage is rooted in the Ten Commandments, which serve as a stabilizing force in our culture. This is, in part, why I’m asking people to pray for me and for our nation. We need God’s blessing and help. I firmly want to stand with you and for you to help return to our spiritual foundation as a nation.
