Prayer, day 2846: For Veterans' Day

Creator of All Light,

Giver of Wisdom,
Protector of the Helpless,
bring us to peace in our time, O God.

Bring us to unity and justice
in fulfillment of your will for our common life:
bring us to peace in our time, O God.

Turn us from the embrace of violence and strife,
and move us instead to embrace light and love.
Bring us to peace in our time, O God.

For You, O God, are our rock and stronghold:
our very present help and hope.
Bring us to peace in our time, O God.

Extend the shield of your mercy and comfort
over all who cry out to you, Lord Christ.

Amen.
