Memorial Day

/

With gratitude and honor, we pray. Gracious God, on this Memorial Day weekend, we remember and give thanks for those who have given their lives in the service of our country. When the need was greatest, they stepped forward and did their duty to defend the freedoms that we enjoy, and to win the same for others.

O God, you yourself have taught us that no love is greater than that which gives itself for another. These honored dead gave the most precious gift they had, life itself, for loved ones and neighbors, for comrades and country, and for us.

Help us to honor their memory by caring for the family members they have left behind, by ensuring that their wounded comrades are properly cared for, by being watchful caretakers of the freedoms for which they gave their lives, and by demanding that no other young men and women follow them to a soldier’s grave unless the reason is worthy and the cause is just.

Holy One, help us to remember that freedom is not free. There are times when its cost is dear. Never let us forget those who paid so terrible a price to ensure that freedom would be our legacy. Though their names may fade with the passing of generations, may we never forget what they have done. Help us to be worthy of their sacrifice. Amen.

We Are Praying for Those in the Tornado's Path

/

Almighty God,
Your power is without question and your love is limitless. We struggle to understand where you are in natural disasters like this one. And yet, where shall we go but to you for help finding the missing, for strength in the search and rescue efforts, to comfort the grieving, and to heal the wounded.  Preserve the lives of those waiting to be found. Bless those who are dealing with the situation in person with all the resources they need. Grant courage to those who wait for news of loved ones. And uphold those for whom the news will be what they feared the most. Empower the churches of Oklahoma to be your ever-present help in trouble. This we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.
