A Prayer For Veterans Day

{Originally posted to the website, The Lid}

Lord who grants salvation to kings and dominion to rulers, whose kingdom is a kingdom spanning all eternities; Who places a road in the sea and a path in the mighty waters – may you bless protect the military of these United States of America, may they complete their mission quickly, and return home safely.

 We pray for those who sacrifice daily — men and women who serve to protect, in our local communities and around the globe – those who serve in our armed forces and our veterans who served.

Compassionate God, creator of the Universe, may you bless the veterans who have served in the past, and may they be treated with the honor and respect that they deserve. 

Lord please also protect the families of those who serve. Let us be mindful of their great sacrifice as well. As their loved ones fight for us, let us extend our hands and our hearts to them.
