As I head off for Memorial Holiday Weekend, I am brought to the thoughts of our brothers and sisters (sons & daughters) fighting for our country. As a daughter being born in the military, this hits home for me. We think about you, our soldiers, and we pray for you daily. Thank you for all that you do. We love, we appreciate and we miss you!
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, we think of how they have followed in the footsteps of your son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Please hold our service men and women in your strong arms. Cover them with your sheltering grace and presence as they stand in the gap for our protection.
We also remember the families of our troops, and ask for your unique blessings to fill their homes and your peace, provision and strength to fill their lives.
May the members of our armed forces be filled with courage to face each day and may they trust in the Lord’s mighty power to accomplish each task. Let our military brothers and sisters feel our love and support.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Memorial Day Prayers
On Memorial Day I must pray to the souls of those who gave their lives, those who gave up all their tomorrows so that I can have mine, and ask their forgiveness. They died for Mom, Pop, apple pie, justice, honesty, morality, liberty and the flag. They died for my freedom. Now our society presents, same sex marriage, injustice, legislative liars, moral decay, politically incorrect speech not allowed, illegal immigration, and flag burning. I must pray to their souls and ask forgiveness, for, I let it happen.
