A Prayer of Hope

LET US PRAY,

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, GIVER OF LIFE AND CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE,

We are grateful for your protection over all of our 300 million citizens. We pray for those who have lost hope. We pray for all people of goodwill who come to this country looking for a better life. We pray that a solution will be found for the many immigrants in our country who come here with hopes of feeding the family.

We pray that a solution will be found regarding our nation’s involvement in Afghanistan. It has been nine years of human sacrifice and devastation with no end in sight.

We pray for all members of our armed forces stationed throughout the world, that you watch over them and their leaders with your protective hand.

We pray in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

AMEN
