Lord,
Thank you for allowing me to be born in a country where I can worship You freely. Thank you for those who serve us both at home and abroad.
Thank you for those who willingly put themselves in harm’s way for our country. Protect them, bless them, but most importantly bring them to know You, the true source of strength, guidance, and hope.
Be with their families while they are far away. Help them to handle the everyday stresses of a family unnaturally separated by thousands of miles. Bring others alongside these families to help, bless, and encourage them. Use Your church to reach out to those in need so that we may serve them and show them Your love.
Be with our leaders as they seek to guide our country. Give them wisdom to make the right decision for our country’s future. Raise up leaders that will rightly honor You as they lead and serve America.
In everything we do, may we glorify You. May Your praises be proclaimed throughout our land.
To You be all honor, Amen.

Amen! My Dad was in the Navy for 20 years, so I have a special place in my heart for military and veterans!
Ronnica, I didn’t even notice that you were in Raleigh the first time I visited your blog, but I’m from there too! Actually a small town south of Raleigh… but when people ask I always say Raleigh because no one has ever heard of Fuquay Varina! :) We just moved to FL in June, other than that we’ve always lived in NC.. born and raised there… love it… and miss it SOOOOOOOO much!! :)
