Reflect
Courage and bravery are exhibited in many different ways. For women and men who served in our nation’s armed forces, they often made the greatest sacrifice—their own lives—to protect our freedoms and service in dangerous situations. Regardless of our own personal feelings around our nation’s involvement in the conflicts of the globe, it is important we honor the selflessness of these souls who freely give so much of themselves for us.
Pray
God of Peace,
We ask your healing and peace to be upon those veterans
who have been wounded, in body, mind, or spirit.
Be with those who suffer with loneliness and emotional suffering—
and with family members who care for them.
Give us a creative vision to bring about a world vision that truly
honors all human dignity and brings a lasting peace to all nations.
Amen.
