“Greater
love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friend”. John 15:13
Dear Heavenly Father,
We are reminded that the culture of the Canadian
Armed Forces is a culture of honour. We join together, people of all ages and
with many others across this nation to show our gratitude for those who have
given their lives for our nation and for their friends and pray they would
continue to be remembered for their great courage.
We honour them today.
We pray for the families across Canada who are mourning
the loss of loved ones, that they would experience your comfort and peace.
We pray for Canada’s Veterans involved in past
wars and peacekeeping missions. We know that some will bear wounds for life,
have given their limbs, or have given their inner peace in service for their
country.
We honour them today.
We pray for all those coping with injuries that
they would receive the care, services and benefits needed that will bring them
and their families back to health, wholeness and vitality.
We pray for all our men and women in uniform here
and overseas that you would be with them and give them courage and strength in
the face of danger.
In Your Name,
Amen
