Day 16 – God of Power and Might
God of Power and Might, we honor the men and women who have put on the uniform of our nation to serve in times of peace and war. To fulfill President Lincoln’s promise “To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan,” our Department of Veterans Affairs works to provide care and comfort to those out of military service. We ask that You would direct the president as he appoints the new secretary of this department. Give the person chosen a heart of love for those who have served, and for the families of those who have given their “last full measure of devotion.” Give comfort to all who are wounded or grieving and help all who care for these national heroes. Amen.
