We pray to our Heavenly Father who gave us life. You gave us the ability to love, to understand complex situations. You gave us the ability to forgive. You gave us the ability to be responsible and to lead productive lives. You gave us the ability to make choices in life. You gave us the ability to make war and you gave us the ability to make peace.
We don’t always understand and comply with your instructions as given to us in the Holy Bible. 2,000 years ago, you sent your son that our sins might be forgiven.
6,000 years ago, you gave us Abraham and all the teachers and prophets that followed. All of the wisdom and knowledge handed down to us has not gone to waste, even if we are still struggling to master the art of life. We thank you for all of your many blessings.
We are concerned that our precious young men and women will not be sacrificed in vain in the horrible war-torn land of Afghanistan. We strive that all of our power of prayer be directed to the safety and welfare of these men and women.
In Christ we pray,
Amen
