An Encouragement to Pray for Our Veterans

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 are Veterans too. I too am a Veteran and share this request as a Veteran.

Why don’t we ask God to be close 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 our veterans – 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!
