In Honor of Memorial Day

Dear God,

We thank you for the freedom you have given to us, and for the price that was paid by Christ so that we could live free.

We thank you for the brave men and women who have fought, and continue to fight, so courageously for our nation. We ask for your covering and blessing over them and their families. We pray that you would be gracious and encircle them with your peace.

Please be with all those who wear the uniform, who serve our communities and nation every single day. We ask that you provide your protection, that you would be their guiding force who leads the way, and their rear guard who keeps them safe from behind. We ask that you would draw them to yourself amidst the dangers they face in a dark world, for you are the Truth, you are the Way, you are the Light.

We pray for your great favor and goodness to be evident in their lives.

In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.
