Kingdom Friend, thank you for continuing to stand in prayer solidarity!

Nearly 250 years ago, George Washington spoke a charge that still echoes. Can we hear his voice from 1783?

George Washington’s Charge — The Foundations Still Speak

In June 1783, as the Revolutionary War drew to a close, George Washington wrote what’s known as the Circular Letter to the States.

Preparing to resign his commission, he used the moment to speak into the soul of the young nation.

"The foundation of our Empire was not laid in the gloomy age of Ignorance and Superstition, but at an epoch when the rights of mankind were better understood and more clearly defined…"

Washington believed America’s origin was marked by moral and spiritual light—an awakening of timeless truths about liberty, justice, and human dignity.

These were not man-made ideals, but insights nourished by biblical wisdom and a Judeo-Christian worldview.

Then came his charge: preserve the republic through virtue, justice, and gratitude toward God.

His four-part prescription?

Justice. Moderation. Peace. And “a friendly disposition toward all mankind.”

Then this crowning line:

"…and above all, that they will be happy in the particular and distinguishing blessings of Heaven."

For Washington, America’s future was inseparable from its character—and from its posture before Heaven.

We live in a different time now. But the original foundations still speak. They are not just history. They are a summons—to return, to recover, to build again with God.

We can draw on America's founding prayers, covenants, documents, and early experiences as "prayer architecture" for today. Adapt the prayer language below to your prayer voice as the Holy Spirit leads.

Blessed by heaven. Built on character. 🧱 

Father of Lights, thank You for the moment You chose to birth this nation—when truth broke through, and the rights of mankind were seen through the lens of Your Word.

We honor those, like Washington, who understood that our future depends on character and Your favor.

We’ve strayed. Justice is blurred. Moderation feels rare. Peace is fragile. But the foundation remains—and You’re calling us back.

Revive our reverence. Rebuild what’s been torn down. Teach us to walk in truth. Everything anchored in love.

And once again, let us live under the blessing of Heaven.

Awaken us. Show mercy. Let Your Kingdom come in America. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🦅 Prayer for God’s purpose to be realized in the big budget bill currently before the House of Representatives.

🦅 Pray for the safety and security of President Trump and civic leaders — national, state, and local.
