Ronald Reagan's Prayer for Peace on Earth (1986)
Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States, often wove prayers into his addresses to invoke national healing and spiritual renewal. This invocation comes from his Address to the Nation on the Challenger disaster, delivered on January 28, 1986, where he mourned the loss of seven astronauts while calling for divine comfort and unity. It underscores his belief in turning to God during national tragedy to restore hope and peace.
The Prayer:
"The time has come to turn to God and reassert our trust in Him for the healing of America… Our country is in need of and ready for a spiritual renewal. Today, we utter no prayer more fervently than the ancient prayer for peace on Earth. 'The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace…' And God bless you all."
Amen (and thank you)
