A PRAYER FOR AMERICA'S ARMED FORCES |
|
SOVEREIGN OF THE UNIVERSE |
|
We invoke your blessings upon our American Armed Forces,
those brave men and women whose courage and commitment to
that for which this country stands protects us all.
Whether by air, land or sea, in the mountains of
Afghanistan, the cities and deserts of Iraq, or wherever
their orders take them, we ask, dear G-d, that they be
protected within your sheltering presence. Shield them from
harm and from pain, assuage their loneliness, and sustain
their faith in the face of the formidable enemies that they
confront on a daily basis. May all of their efforts be
crowned with victory, and the assurance that we who depend
on their courage and understand the great difficulty of
their work.
Most of all, we pray for all soldiers, the ultimate
prayer - that they be privileged to return safely, speedily,
and in good health. Because of their courage, may we all be
privileged to know and savor the blessings of true peace and
security.
Amen.
