MEDITATION:
Written by Janice Buckson, a contemporary author.
Over the years, men and women of the United States Armed Forces have served and sacrificed much for our country. Patriotic and proud, members of the military have willingly laid down their lives to protect and defend, in wartime and peace, the Constitution of the United States of America and its freedoms. In America, you have religious freedom to attend a church of your choosing. You are permitted to own a Bible…or several. In this nation you may choose to marry…or not, to vote…or not. You have the right to free speech and the right to peacefully assemble. These freedoms have been defended and protected by the members of the military. Today, November 11, is Veterans Day. Today we celebrate with great gratitude all who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces. Today we give honor to whom it’s due—to all military veterans. Take time to pause, reflect and pray for our veterans and their families. Thank God for those He’s called to serve. Ask Him to cover them with His hand of protection. If you are a veteran, wherever you are placed, whatever position you hold, you are highly esteemed and valued. Thank you!
PRAYER:
Written by Beth Patch, a contemporary editor, and producer.
Lord Jesus, you are not a stranger to war and know the stress our veterans have felt. Please comfort and strengthen them with your Holy Spirit. Meet each of them right where they are today and speak to their souls. You’ve brought them through many trials. Help them see your mighty hand at work in their lives and know how much you love them. Heal their hearts as well as their bodies. Help us to show our sincere thanks to them and help us all never to forget the sacrifices that they’ve made. Help us to love them just as you have loved us.
