What is a Veteran?
Have you ever looked up the word veteran? The dictionary defines it as a person who has had long experience in a particular field or a person who has served in the military. If you’re a veteran or have a family member that served in the military that definition doesn’t begin to substantiate the sacrifice that every veteran has given to its country. We are forever indebted to these brave men and women who laid their lives on the line for people they’ve never even met. As we remember their duties and everything they put on the line, it’s crucial that we share prayers for veterans who fought for our freedom.
With the month of October the beginning of our membership drive, remember our Veterans and remember why your membership with the AMVETS Organization is important. We work hard to protect the rights and benefits they earned while in service, and their families.
Prayer for Our Soldiers
Lord, We lift up prayer for those who lead and direct our soldiers. May their daily decisions bring powerful protection and abundant provision to our men and women in uniform. Amen.
Whether a veteran is physically in battle or just mentally, we mustn’t forget the price that they’ve all paid. Some veterans have found salvation from their post-traumatic stress disorder however, others haven’t. When you utter prayers for veterans remember that a soldier’s work is never done. Even though they may not be physically on the front lines their mind and soul may still be there. All in all, it’s important to pray for protection for the men and women in uniform. It’s important to not forget their sacrifice. We shouldn’t categorize their prayers in representation of a holiday or celebration. Instead these prayers for our soldiers should be recited every day.
