A Soldier's Prayer For the
Army
Almighty God, with an upright heart I have
left my dear ones at home, to defend my country against its enemies. My
thoughts constantly go back to them. They are thoughts of love and of anxiety.
I ask You loving God to keep a watchful eye over each and every one of them.
Soothe their hearts and help them to bear my absence patiently. Protect them
from the dreadful dangers of war.
O my Lord, I ask not much for myself
~ just only courage to perform my duties well. I offer You this day and every
day my thoughts, words and actions as prayers of faith in You, of hope in Your
provident care, of love of You and Your justice. May my prayers parallel all my
service and sacrifices for my fellow comrades, my family and my country,
protect them all and bless them now and forever. For all those who have died
welcome them into your loving embrace. Gracious Lord, lend an ear of compassion
to the supplication of a soldier ~ your child ~ serving my country to the best
of my ability out of love for You.
Amen.
