Lord Jesus, we thank You for the brave members of our armed forces who have given so much of themselves in the behalf of this great nation that was established on the principles of Your Word and that was laid at Your feet by our Founding Fathers at its inception.
From the Revolutionary War to the current war on terror, this land is blessed with heroes who are willing to put themselves on the line in order that we may be free. We thank You because they sacrifice so much for us.
We pray You will have Your hand of protection and blessing upon them, that Your Holy Spirit will fill them with Your presence, that Your holy angels will stand watch over them and bring each of them home safely to families that love them and to a nation that evidences its gratitude for all they've done by maintaining the freedom for which they have sacrificed so much.
Freedom, indeed, is not free. Help each citizen of this great land--from the loftiest and most powerful among us to the most humble--to recognize and to esteem highly the sacrifices of our military. Other than Jesus Himself who died to set us free from sin, we have only those who serve at the vanguard of freedom from tyrany to thank for the peaceful lives we enjoy.
