Almighty God; who is ever-present during our nights and our mornings,
We bow before you in remembrance of our brothers and sisters deployed around the World.
We thank you for each service member downrange, standing watch over our freedoms and our way of life.
We ask that you would bless each one with your presence;
Watch them as they work, protect in times of danger, and comfort them in their separation from families and homes.
We ask that you would bring them home safely, while ensuring their missions are successful.
We ask that you would strengthen their families.
For the wife or husband, mother or father, or the little child sitting at home today, we ask that you would supply their needs; spiritually, physically, and emotionally.
Remind us, today, to support one another within our community; as many deploy and redeploy through our gates. And teach us to depend on you for our every need.
A-Men.
