A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, May 28th

Good Morning, God
Today we pause to remember; we remember those who have given their lives for the cause of freedom.  We thank you for their service, their skills, their obedience under orders and their ultimate sacrifice.  Bless the families and other loved ones of these men and women.  May the memory of each person be always warm in our hearts.  May we, also, always consider and count the costs of war before we engage in one, and strive to settle our differences with discussions and agreements rather than with weapons and wars. 

Heavenly Father, we remember today all who have died.  We remember the things about the person that were good and kind and faithful.  We ask for your comfort and peace to be with us who still mourn our loss.  May the deaths of those we love cause us to love those who are alive even more warmly and completely this and every day.
In Jesus' name, Amen
