As We Remember Our Veterans
Servant Savior,
On this day, our nation recognizes with grateful appreciation the service of our veterans. How can we ever adequately express our thanks to so many who were willing to put so much on the line to defend our great nation and all of its freedoms? We thank you for the fine example of selfless service our veterans provide, as well as their humble willingness to put themselves under the authority of others for the greater good. Grant your blessing and favor on our veterans and their families. Let them be treated with honor, respect, and dignity, not just today, but always. Let us also show them compassion in how we provide for them, striving to give them the best possible care and treatment they require. Give our leaders wisdom and discernment as they give consideration to how they ask our brave military men and women to serve, so they avoid unnecessarily putting them at risk or in danger. Lead them to highly value the lives of these special service men and women entrusted to their care. Always remember our veterans, Lord, and see that we don’t ever forget them either.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
