Prayer for our troops

REMEMBERING THOSE WHO SERVE

Almighty God, we commend to Your
gracious care and keeping all the
men and women of our armed forces
at home and abroad.  Defend the day
by day with Your heavenly grace;
strengthen them in their trials and
temptations;  give them courage to face
the perils which beset them; and grant
them a sense of Your abiding presence
wherever they may be;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

                                                   Amen.
