Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them, and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need, and bring them home safely. May their sacrifices bring about a lasting and just peace in those lands. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior. Amen.
