An Easter Prayer for our Troops

No matter where one stands on our involvement in wars overseas, our troops are doing their duty and still need our love, support, and prayers. Found this one on-line and seems appropriate for Easter.

******

O Prince of Peace, we humbly ask Your protection for all our men
and women in military service. Give them unflinching courage to
defend with honor, dignity and devotion the rights of all who are
imperiled by injustice and evil. Guard our churches, our homes,
our schools, our hospitals, our factories, our buildings, and all
those within from harm and peril. Protect our land and its people
from enemies within and without. Grant an early peace with victory
founded upon justice. Instill in the hearts and minds of men and
women everywhere a firm purpose to live forever in peace and
good will towards all. Amen.
