A Thanksgiving Day Prayer for Our Troops


On this day of Thanksgiving, we gather together with grateful hearts to express our deepest thanks for the many blessings bestowed upon us. As we come before you, we lift up in prayer our brave men and women in uniform, who sacrifice so much to protect and defend the freedoms we hold dear.

We thank you for the courage and commitment of our troops, who stand strong in the face of adversity. Bless them with strength, resilience, and unwavering faith as they serve our country with honor and dedication. May they feel your presence in the midst of challenges and find comfort in knowing that their sacrifices are not in vain.

Lord, we ask for your protection over our troops, both near and far. Shield them from harm, grant them wisdom in their decision-making, and surround them with your love and grace. Be a source of encouragement to their families, who also bear the weight of separation and uncertainty.

On this day of gratitude, we remember those who cannot be with their loved ones due to their service. May they feel the warmth of your love and the appreciation of a grateful nation. We pray for a spirit of unity and understanding among people of all nations, that the desire for peace may prevail over conflict.

Lord, we are thankful for the freedoms we enjoy, made possible by the sacrifices of our servicemen and servicewomen. May we never take these freedoms for granted, and may we be inspired to contribute to a world where peace and justice reign.

In your mercy, Lord, we lift up our prayers for peace and healing in the world. May the light of your love shine brightly, bringing hope to the darkest corners of our world.

We offer this prayer with gratitude and humility, trusting in your love and guidance. In your holy name, we pray.

Amen.
