- Dear Heavenly Father,
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.
(prayer by Mary Fairchild)

ReplyDeleteI think it is great that you and others want to pass this prayer on. I think the more we pray for our troops and families the better. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHusband giving Memorial Day speech for our local American Legion. Would like to ask him to include this prayer, but his speech is already L....O.....N.....G! As the average age for this Legion is about 75, I'm hoping they will be able to stay awake.
