A Blessing in Uniform

Prayers - Soldiers Prayer

By Abigail Wurdeman

A Blessing in Uniform

Please bless the strangerWABlessinginUniform
in the faded uniform.

Give him the peace
of a career well-served,
and a service completed.
Give him my thanks
for the doors he opened,
the paths he paved,
the battles he spared us.

Please bless the stranger
in the muddy uniform.
Hold her bold heart
in the calm of Your capable hands,
until she can feel
the peace of home again.
Give her my thanks
for the freedoms she preserves,
the future she defends,
the ideals she embodies.

A Soldier's Story

Prayers - Soldiers Prayer

By Ruth Williams

A Soldier's Story

Bless the soldiers who sacrifice,WASoldiersStory
who serve and do us proud.
Protect these home-grown heroes
out there in a foreign field,
on the front lines
where fear and fate intersect.
Place them in Your perpetual care.

Bring them back to us intact,
back to the warmth of home,
the smell of fresh bread,
mom in an apron, flour on her face,
the high school sweetheart, with a promise ring.
Back to the things they are fighting for.

Let It Ring

Prayers - Soldiers Prayer

By Abigail Wurdeman

Let It Ring

wLetItRing
I woke this morning in America,
and I know what freedom is.

Where there is injustice,
I am free to fight.
Where there is silence,
I am free to speak,
Where there is hate,
I am free to love.

Parades and Pinwheels

Prayers - Soldiers Prayer

By Sue Bradford Edwards

Parades and Pinwheels

wThoseWhoMakeItPossible

Food and fun,
family and friends.
So much busy-ness
surrounds the holiday.
Please help it be more
than parades and pinwheels.
Even as I celebrate
with those I love,
help me remember
those who make it possible,
the men and women in uniform
who are so far
from those they love.
Life, liberty and happiness
come with a price.
On this very special day,
please bless those
who pay this price for us.

A Stripe and a Star

Prayers - Soldiers Prayer

By Heidi Haller

A Stripe and a Star

flagvert150x202

I am a stripe,
I am a star,
I am red, white and blue.

Although we have never met,
I will always pray for you.
I wouldn’t know your name
if I saw you in a crowd.
I would pass you right by, 
yet we are both Americans.

I spend time with my kids,
I sleep undisturbed.
My home is safe
because of what you do.
