TO CARE FOR HIM WHO SHALL HAVE BORNE THE BATTLE AND FOR HIS WIDOW, AND HIS ORPHAN        -Abraham Lincoln 

Dear Heavenly Father,

Creator of the heavens and the earth, Author of mercy and wisdom 

Bless the women and men who serve to protect our fragile freedoms

Thank you for those who have borne the battle at so precious a cost

We praise you for sending Christ Jesus to die for our sins on the Cross 

Let us never forget the brave who have sacrificed everything just for us

A debt that cannot be adequately repaid by this grateful remembrance 

Alleviate the pain and suffering of those with depression and addictions 

The deep and hidden wounds of service and war causing dire afflictions 

“…for the Lord your God is He who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.”  **

Help us to never neglect their weeping widows and orphans left at home

We are all sinners without any hope except for saving faith in Christ alone

Lead us Lord for then we know each step of the way will be secure 

Until in your loving arms we find the enduring peace that your grace assures!

For You are our refuge, strength and salvation!

Amen

** Deuteronomy 20:4 ESV
