Prayer for Remembrance Day

Remembrance Sunday is held on the Sunday closest to November 11th. It is the day when we remember the men and women who lost their lives during two World Wars, and other conflicts over the years to the present day.

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”. (King James Version)

Lord God, our Heavenly Father, at this special time of remembrance we think about those of the past who gave their lives serving our Country in two World Wars. We also remember those who have lost their lives in other war torn areas of the World over the years.

We pray for those who have been maimed during wars, and now have to adjust to new and sometimes difficult ways of life. We ask that You will be near them in times of difficulty and pain.

At this time we pray for the families of Service men and women who cope at home while their loved ones are involved in war in other parts of the World.

We pray that people will show love and respect for one another and learn to live in peace.

We pray too that Your Kingdom may come here on earth, and through the Power of Your Holy Spirit our prayers will be granted in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour.

Amen.
