Father God, we come to you today so thankful for the freedom that we enjoy in our country. We remember the sacrifice of all those who have given their lives to secure that freedom in the two great wars and all the areas of conflict which have arisen since. Lord, we pray that you will strengthen and sustain all those currently serving in our military today. We ask that you continue to lead and guide our military leaders in the challenging days ahead and that the leaders of our Armed Forces will always seek your wisdom in their planning and strategies. Amen (Armed Forces CU)
