"I urge that each of us turn to God on that day

— acknowledging that our country continues, as it was founded, "with a firm reliance upon the protection of divine Providence";

— thanking Him for the blessings of mind and spirit which He has heaped upon us in a land of vast bounty;

— begging His forgiveness for our shortcomings;

— asking for the patience, the wisdom, the understanding, and the courage we need to carry on His work."

— President Lyndon B. Johnson
