Please join me in praying for our veterans and current military personnel.
May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his people with peace! Psalm 29:11
Almighty God,
Even as we celebrate and pray
for our veterans today in America,
we praise you for being the Commander-in-Chief
of Peace and Love.
We thank you for those
who have laid down their lives
to bring peace, freedom, and protection to our country.
We thank you for their many sacrifices—
leaving families and friends,
suffering loneliness and injury on our behalf.
We lift up families of veterans and current military personnel—
may they find good community, supportive churches,
and rest in your protection when their loved ones are serving.
And we pray for all who have been injured in the line of duty,
whether physically or mentally.
We ask especially for healing of those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder—
bring restoration and hope to their lives and their families’ hearts.
Most of all, we pray that our veterans and current military personnel
would find their hope and healing in the Prince of Peace—Jesus.
In his mighty name we pray. Amen.
Read Psalm 29.
