A
Prayer on Memorial Day (May 25, 2020): “Gracious God, on this Memorial Day, we pray for
those who courageously laid down their lives for the cause of freedom. May the examples
of their sacrifice inspire in us the selfless love of Your Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ. Bless the families of our fallen troops, and fill their homes and their
lives with your strength and peace. In union with people of goodwill of every
nation, embolden us to answer the call to work for peace and justice, and thus,
seek an end to violence and conflict around the globe. We ask this through our
Lord Jesus Christ.” - Author
