Prayer of the day, Wednesday 11 August 2021

Today, Wednesday 11 August, the prayer of the day is dedicated to safety of our soldiers who all over the world are working to keep the peace.

Prayer for the safety of the soldiers

Almighty and eternal God,
those who take refuge in you rejoice
and forever they cry out for joy.

Protect these soldiers as they carry out their duties.
Protect them with the shield of Your strength
and protect them from all harm and harm.

May the power of Your love allow them to return home
safely so that, with all those who love them,
may they praise you for your loving care.
We ask you for Christ our Lord.

Amen.
