For those in the Armed Forces of our Country
God of Peace, you have accompanied your children through times of war and strife and unrest. Today we remember all of our veterans past and present. We ask for the healing of those who have been wounded in body and soul, wounds both visible and invisible. Bring peace to those places where our women and men have fought. Bless those who served in non-combatant roles. God, Grant us the vision to see a world in which all peoples and nations grow weary with war and fighting, and instead turn their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. These things we ask in the name of the Prince of Peace. Amen.
