Memorial Day Observance
Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Let us never forget.
While Jesus saved us from “the wages of sin” and bought us
the freedom of eternal life, our freedom here in American and for many around
the world, was won on the backs of those who so bravely served in our armed
forces and gave their lives.
No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life
for one’s friends. John 15:13
Let us never forget.
While many celebrate today with barbeques and beach parties,
let us remember that many died that we might have a more glorious life here on
earth. They left behind grieving
spouses, children, parents, relatives, friends, and communities whose lives
were never to be the same. Pray that
they may not be shackled by their anger and grief. Come Holy Spirit!
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17
Let us never forget.
They served for love of God and country.
For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the
love you have demonstrated for his name by having served and continuing to
serve the holy ones. Hebrews 6:10
Let us never forget.
During WWII, 12% of the population served in the
military. Everyone knew a
serviceman. Today that number has
dropped to less than .5% of the US population.
May we never take those who serve for granted, as they protect our
freedom daily.
Let us never forget them in
prayer.
Lord, we pray for the
souls of the faithful departed who served in the armed forces, that they may
rest in peace until they come into your glory.
We pray for healing and peace to pervade the lives of all those who have
suffered the loss of someone dear to them.
May you bless them richly with your love. Preserve the marriages of those who have lost
a son or daughter who served. Strengthen and guide the children who have lost a
parent by surrounding them with good and righteous people. For those who have lost a spouse, fill the
deep void in their lives with your tender and compassionate love.
May we never forget them in prayer.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
In remembrance of our those who served us so bravely, pass
it on as an eternal flame of prayer.
