A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, November 10

Good Morning, God,

The headlines tomorrow will be about it being "Veteran's Day." It is another day to give thanks and show appreciation to a very large group of individuals, both men and women, who have helped to make our country great and our lives safer and more secure. The day will be a time to honor those men and women who put their lives on the line so that the rest of us can sit back and enjoy life. Tomorrow we are saying "thank you" to our veterans who have served in our country's armed forces.

Lord, throughout history, even your biblical history, there is the recounting of people fighting for their way of life. Your word gives story after story of people who are called by your name and who are blessed by you, being willing to give up their own lives so that others of your people might live. So, tomorrow, may we remember your word that says, "Greater love has no one than this than to give up one's own life so that others may live" and have life abundantly. May we say "thanks" and honor our veterans!

In Jesus' name, Amen.
