Please give us the voice to stand up for what is just and give us the wisdom, strength, and courage to follow through on the promises we made.

Father, please protect and guide the men and women in our Armed Services and first responders, who protect all of us, that they may safely get home to their loved ones.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives in reigns with us in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.

Amen.”
