HEAVENLY FATHER,

 

WE ASK THAT YOU PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND KEEP THEM SAFE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS AND NO MATTER WHAT THEY MUST COME UP AGAINST.  WE ASK FOR YOUR CONSOLATION AND YOUR CARE FOR THE INNOCENT WHO WILL BE CAUGHT IN THE CROSS FIRE.  LET YOUR MERCY BE UPON OUR PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY AND THEIR FAMILIES.  GRANT TO THOSE WHO LEAD US WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE BEYOND THEIR YEARS AND EXPERIENCE TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS FOR ALL INVOLVED.  HAVE MERCY UPON THE SOULS, WHO WILL HAVE DEPARTED, AND THE WOUNDED, WHO WILL REMAIN.  GIVE US GRACE THAT WE MIGHT FORGIVE AND FAITH THAT WE MIGHT BELIEVE AND GO ON ONE MORE DAY YOUR WAY.  WE ASK THIS IN THE NAME OF JESUS, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

 

AMEN.
