Holy God, you teach the importance of sacrifice, devotion, and being faithful. Just as the Old Testament acknowledges the deeds of David and his Mighty Men, we lift up all who have served in the military. We recognize the selfless service of our veterans and we remember the difficulty of their deeds.
There is a high cost to pay for freedom, liberty, and justice. There are times when the sons and daughters of our nation must rise and stand for what is right. These are the difficult times that test our faith, our strength, and our resolve.
Precious God, may we always find our strength in you and respond to the needs of our nation, our state, and our neighbors in times of trial. Amen.
