Dear Lord,
As we remember those who have made the
ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy every day, we think of
how they have followed in the footsteps of your son, our Savior, Jesus
Christ. Please hold our servicemen and women in your strong arms.
Cover them with your sheltering grace and your presence as they stand
in the gap for our protection.
We also remember the families of
our troops. We ask for your unique blessings to fill their homes, and
we pray your peace, provision, and strength will fill their lives. May
the members of our armed forces be supplied with courage to face each
day and may they trust in the Lord's mighty power to accomplish each
task. Let our military brothers and sisters feel our love and support.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.
