Memorial Day Prayer

In loving memory of those who are not here today, but are always present in our hearts.

We have been forced to change our behavior for the sake of our health and this Memorial Day is not an exception. Even though most celebrations have been cancelled for this Memorial Day, we can still honor all of those who fought and have lost their lives defending and serving our country as well as those who continue to serve this great nation. To all the servicemen and women that sacrificed their lives for our freedom we offer this prayer.

Dear God, 

On this Memorial Day, we ask you to please hold our servicemen and women in your loving arms. Bless their families and fill them with peace and strength. Grant your loving protection and allow them to find peace in their souls that surpasses all understanding. Comfort those who grieve the loss of their loved ones and let your healing be the hope in their hearts. Lord, please send your angels to protect those who are now serving so they may return home safely to their families. Please hear our prayer for those who put our welfare before their own and give us all hearts as generous as theirs. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Psalm 91:9-11

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
