Bless Them Abundantly: A Veterans Day Prayer
Dear Lord, Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women
who gave their best when they were called upon
to serve and protect their country. We pray that you will bless them, Lord,
for their unselfish service in the continual struggle
to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country’s heritage, for all of us.
Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced,
for the sacrifices they made, for their many different contributions
to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression.
We respect them, we thank them, we honor them, we are proud of them,
and we pray that you will watch over these special people
and bless them with peace and happiness.
In Jesus’ name we pray; Amen.
