Heavenly Father, we lift up in prayer today our brothers and sisters who have gone before us, sacrificing their own lives for the protection and safety of others. We are grateful for their service. May we honor them by loving and caring for all those they have left behind, and may they inspire us to live selflessly in our own lives, as Christ calls us to do.
As we pray for those who lost their lives in conflict throughout our history, we recognize the ongoing war and violence that continues to plague humanity in many places, many forms. Today, we pray for peace, which those we honor today fought valiantly to achieve.
In Your name we pray. Amen.
Blessings on Memorial Day!
