A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, November 11th

Good Morning, God
Lord, we pray especially today for the men and women who have served our country in the armed forces.  We remember those who have lost their lives; we ask for comfort for those loved ones whose service person lost his or her life and didn't come home.  We are grateful that there have always been men and women who will leave their country and their kin folk and their parents' home for awhile and serve to protect their country and their kin folk and their parents' home.  For those who are currently serving, protect them this day and always from bodily and psychological harm.  May they rely on your love and protection to see them through this and each day.
And, for those who this day honors - our veterans - may they be appreciated with our thanks and every opportunity for good jobs, a comfortable place to live, adequate and continuing medical care and a sense of great accomplishment for a job well done.
May we appreciate all of our service people and give them thanks until we thank you when all conflict shall cease.
In Jesus name, Amen
