Prayer for Our Military

All Powerful God,

Watch over all our dear ones who have served and those who still serve this day in the military.

Hold them safely in the palm of your hand.

Walk with them in your strength.

Bring comfort when they are troubled;
hope when they are weary.

Remind them of our love.

Merciful Lord,

Bring a lasting peace into our midst.

Heal our hearts and help all nations find ways to live in harmony so that blood is shed no more.

We ask this in the name of Christ Jesus,

Prince of Peace.

Amen.
