On this Memorial Day, remembering those who gave of themselves for our country and our freedoms.
Many thanks to colleague Chris Duckworth for the prayer which I share here...
Almighty God, you are our strength and our shield. We give you thanks for the men and women of our armed forces, past and present, and especially for those who have died while serving. May their sacrifices serve the cause of peace, and may our nation be ever grateful for their service. With your wisdom and strength guide our military's leaders, and give to all people a desire for justice and peace. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
In Christ,
Terry Hannon
