You are our Wisdom and
our Strength.
Lord, you moved upon men
to establish this great nation. You stirred men to hope and to dream for a land
of freedom. We praise you for this great nation.
Lord, you have inspired
many of our best and brightest to volunteer to proudly stand and defend our
beloved country. You have given us brave and loyal men and women who have
steadfastly served in their chosen branch of our military.
We gather today to
remember our military personnel. We acknowledge that their service enables us
to walk as free men and women in this great land.
Lord, today we seek to
honor your sons and daughters who have served or who are serving our country.
We are reminded that because of their service we can live in safety.
We ask that you
abundantly bless those who have previously served. May their service time be
rewarded in every way. May they gain earthly and heavenly blessings from their
unselfish love of country.
Lord, we stop now and
remember those who are currently serving. We ask that you provide them with
your protection, your strength, and your peace. We ask that you would
abundantly provide for all their needs. We ask that you would enable them to
overcome every personal and professional obstacle. We ask that you would
protect their families from hurt and harm.
May each of our veterans
feel honored not just today but every day.
Father, we also give
special recognition to our wounded warriors. We realize that many of our heroes
are dealing with physical and emotional wounds that occurred as a result of
their time of service to our country.
We ask that they would be
given the best treatments available and that you would add your supernatural
blessings to all the efforts given to them to help them. We ask that you, Lord,
would show them miracles as they seek to gain health, stability, and wholeness.
We pray these things in
Jesus' name, Amen
