and reaffirm the spiritual principles upon which this nation was founded,' and,
in Collier County, we are fortunate to have been blessed by our Creator with
beautiful beaches, rivers, lakes, fields, forests and a people who, through hard
work and intellectual effort and toil, have made countless cultural, industrial,
agricultural and educational advancements for the enrichment of life for all our
citizens; and,
prayer has comforted us in times of sorrow and given us strength and hope for the
future. We ask God to keep His hand upon us and bless Collier County, the great
State of Florida and the United States of America,' and,
we continue to give thanks for the men and women of the military that are
delending freedom, . and we humbly ask God for their protection and pray for peace
throughout the world; and,
this year is the 6C1h anniversary of the consecutive annual observance of the
National Day of Prayer, based on Hebrews 4:16, "Let us then approach the throne
of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in
our time of need;" and,
on May 5, 2011, Americans across our nation, state and the county will unite in
prayer to give thanks for the many blessings our country has received and pray for
Gods blessings and protection upon our leader and our nation.
