13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. ~ John 15:13
Today, November 11th, is Veterans Day. It is the day we, as a nation, have set aside to honor those brave soldiers who have selflessly served their country. They gave up their free time, a lot of them their prime years, to serve our great nation. To fight for the freedoms we all enjoy today. Therefore, we take the time out to say thank you to each and every veteran for their service and their sacrifice.
Thank You, LORD, for the many freedoms we have today. Thank You for each life that willingly put their own life on hold and on the line for my freedom. I pray that You would protect and bless them and their families. That You would be with them and heal any wound they may have, whether it is physical or mental or spiritual. I pray that You would give them each peace. Thank You, LORD, for allowing me to live in a country that has granted me the freedom and right to serve You. I pray that You would protect that freedom that it might not be taken away from me. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
