Praying for our Veterans

[Lewis Turner]

Veterans have given of themselves to serve our country. Some were physically
hurt during their tour of duty. Some were psychologically hurt in Vietnam by
the actions in our country. There has been some healing here—but scars remain.
Some have what is called Post Traumatic Syndrome. Some of our pastors are
veterans—and that includes some of you, and others reading this are Veterans too.
I too am a Veteran and share this request as a Veteran.

Why don’t we ask God to beclose to all our Veterans and their families and to
Bless them with a knowledge of His Word. That the Lord may be especially
close to those who have survived battle and give them an understanding of His
protection to them during the battles. Also, thank God for their service to this Nation.
In Jesus’ Holy Name,AMEN!!!

May we through God’s help show the Love of Christ to all of ourveterans – a love that lifts up Christ. Christ said that if He be lifted up He would draw all men to Himself!! John 12: 32 It was love that made Jesus go to
the Cross and on the Cross was He was literally lifted up. When we show the
Love of Christ to them -- What a way to reach them for Christ

If you have additional thoughts on praying for our Veterans, please share them, and in your groups on Pray!Network!

Francis,

 

It means a lot to me, having personally known your family.  That is a cherished memory and one that leaves you with a peace.

When I think of veterans I think of many that I have known in the military serving in different wars and operations, and I know that the emotional state of one of these needs to find strength in God. When they leave the service many want to fall away from their faith, as they blame God for the horrid experiences that they encounter. After years upon years my dad suffered from the bitterness of war. And had lost his faith. Before he died though he had asked Christ to come into his heart.
