We pray for all Christians around the world, especially those who are being persecuted for their faith.

We pray for men and women in the military, especially those actively in harm’s way, and their families, and for the families of those who have died in service. And we pray for the mutilated, maimed, and wounded; and for those still fighting on distant battlefields, though they appear to be home.
ALMIGHTY AND EVERLIVING GOD: Accept our prayers for these people afflicted and troubled with unhealthiness in their bodies, or in their hearts and souls, or in their minds and spirits. In Your Mercy, Lord, relieve them of and release them from their burdens; and grant them patience under their sufferings. And, if it be Thy Merciful and Loving Will, grant them an expedient and happy outcome from their trials. We ask all this in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever. AMEN
