Many people, including myself, know someone fighting over seas. I pray everyday for their safety and speedy return home. The following poem is a prayer written by my aunt. Thank you, Wanda, for bringing these words to life.
PRAYER FOR OUR MILITARY
Dear God, I place in Your strong hands
All those who serve in foreign lands.
Keep them safe in all they do
Let them know to rely on You.
In every danger they must face
Show Your presence in that place.
When they, at times, feel lost, alone,
Then show them You are still the One
Who always will be at their side
When they, in faith, with You abide.
Show that Your love and care extends
To all at home, their family; friends
Strengthen them to do Your will
Each day, each place, each job they fill.
Bring them safely home at last
Away from terror’s bombs and blasts.
Let us give thanks for what they’ve done
To keep us safe; our freedom won.
