A Prayer for Veteran's Day


Lord and Father, God, we pray for the men and women of our armed forces; we pray that they would be safe.  We also pray that they would serve with compassion, not allowing the fear and confusion of war and combat to overtake them.  We pray that they would not be swallowed up by the hatred that war engenders for our enemies.  We pray, also for the leaders who are responsible for war – that they would find peaceful ways to end the conflicts. 

And Lord, because you have taught us to love; to love even our enemies, we pray for them as well.  We pray that you would bless our enemies and that you would fill them with good things and that they would know your peace.

We pray that wars will cease and that the peace of God would rule.
Amen
