Veterans Day Prayer
God of peace,
We pray for those who have served our nation
And have laid down their lives
To protect and defend our freedom.
We pray for those who have fought,
Whose spirits and bodies are scarred by war,
Whose nights are haunted by memories
Too painful for the light of day.
We pray for those who serve us now
Especially for those in harm’s way.
Shield them from danger
And bring them home.
Turn the hearts and minds
Of our leaders and our enemies
To the work of justice and a harvest of peace.
Spare the poor, Lord, spare the poor!
May the peace you left us,
The peace you gave us,
Be the peace that sustains us
Be the peace that saves us.
Christ Jesus, hear us!
Lord Jesus, hear our prayer!
Amen.
- Concord Pastor
America’s Veterans have served their country
With the belief that democracy and freedom
Are ideals to be upheld around the world.
- John Doolittle
My heroes are those who risk their lives every day
To protect our world and make it a better place…
Police, firefighters and members of our armed forces.
- Sidney Sheldon
To honor our national promise to our veterans,
We must continue to improve services for our
Men and women in uniform today and provide
Long overdue benefits for the veterans and
Military retirees who have already served.
- Solomon Ortiz
