00:00Let us pray.
00:13Almighty God, your prophet Jeremiah walked the streets of Jerusalem
00:20and blessed its inhabitants with the Hebrew words,
00:24Baruch ha-gever eshei yivtach ba-hashem, blessed is the one who trusts in God.
00:33Thousands of years later, this great nation which adopted these words as its motto,
00:39in God we trust, stands at a moment of historic opportunity. Americans are searching for meaning.
00:50Our merciful Father, help us rise to meet this moment.
00:56Bless President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance
01:01with the strength and courage to choose the right and the good.
01:06Unite us around our foundational biblical values of life and liberty, of service and sacrifice,
01:16and especially of faith and morality, which George Washington called
01:21the indispensable supports of American prosperity.
01:26Guide our schools and college campuses, which have been experiencing such unrest,
01:33to inspire the next generation to pair progress with purpose, knowledge with wisdom,
01:41and truth with virtue. Hear the cry of the hostages, both American and Israeli,
01:51whose pain our President so acutely feels. We are so thankful for the three young women who
02:00yesterday returned home, and pray that the next four years brings peace to Israel
02:07and throughout the Middle East. Almighty God, grant all Americans the opportunity to realize
02:16our shared dream of a life filled with peace and plenty, health and happiness,
02:23compassion and contribution. Stir within us the confidence to rise to this moment,
02:32for while we trust in God, God's trust is in us, the American people.
02:39America is called to greatness, to be a beacon of light and a mover of history.
02:48May our nation merit the fulfillment of Jeremiah's blessing,
02:53that like a tree planted by water, we shall not cease to bear fruit.
02:58May all of humanity experience your love and your blessing.
03:04May it be thy will, and let us say, Amen.
