After my grandmother died a few years back, I was fortunate to receive her prayer book that she had while two of her sons, my uncles, were in WWII. One was a tanker, the other in supply. Right before she died, she told me that every night and morning while my uncles were overseas, she would say this prayer for them. A Prayer for Our Men in Service O God of mercy, you are our Father. We are your children. We believe in you. We hope in you, we Love you. We need you to protect us now, because our country is at war. There are many dangers around us. Dangers on land, dangers on the sea, and dangers in the air. Those who are dear to use are in the midst of these dangers. They are fighting for us and fighting for the country that we love. We do not know for certain where they are, but you know. You see them day and night. Wherever they are and whatever they may be doing, O Lord, protect them and care for them. If they are tired give them strength. If they are wounded and suffering give them comfort. If they are lonely, touch them with your gently hand, and let them know that you are near to them. Just as you are near to us who pray for them. Help our soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen. Help all who are fighting for our country. Give them quick minds and bodies that are always ready to act, to dare and risk, and never be afraid to die. O God our Father be with them always, to light and guard, to rule and guide. And if it be your will that they give their lives for their country and their homes, grant eternal peace and a Holy rest to their souls. We pray O Lord for them all living and dead, but we pray especially for those whom we have promised to pray. Hasten the day, O God, when all your children of all races and nations may be united in love and justice with one another under their Father in heaven, thru Christ our Lord. Amen. |

With your permission I would like to print it and hang it on my desk for a reminder to pray for those in our countries service. |

Of course, by all means print it and pray. Prayer is powerful. Of course, you already know that! We, those of us enjoying the comforts of our homes, sometimes forget the sacrifices that soldiers make for us. They do them to keep their families and the rest of us safe. It's what our fathers and grandfathers fought for so many years ago. |

Thank you, and you are so right in how easy we forget when we aren't the ones facing the enemy. |
