Prayer in Honor of Veterans Day
Jesus, we hear your words, “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13, NRSV)
Jesus, we are grateful for those who are like you, those who sacrifice and serve for a greater good. Strengthen all we have mentioned and thousands more who put the welfare of others ahead of their own safety.
We give you thanks for all veteran and military personnel who serve with honor, wisdom, and compassion. Guard them against hard-heartedness, despair, and evil.
Bring help and healing to all who still struggle in body and mind because of what they have experienced.
Strengthen and bless military families, especially when they are separated one from another. Console and comfort military families, especially those who continue to grieve loved ones who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Surround us all with your protection. Fill us all with your grace. Lead us all with your truth and light.
