Rest for their souls Heavenly Father, today my prayer is that you provide rest for the souls of the brave. My heart breaks over the precious lives lost. My mind drifts to those places where our heroes souls rest. Oh please Father, let them rest knowing their sacrifice will NOT be forgotten.

As I remember these brave souls, I pray too for those currently serving our country. As they stand ready to protect, rest probably doesn't come easy. But oh how desperately rest must be needed.

And their precious families trying ever so bravely to wait for their return home. They hold tightly to letters sent home with the comfort of knowing those pieces of paper were touched with the hands of the one they love. A glimpse of their face by grace of technology provides them with needed hope to get through another day. Oh Father how their souls must need rest.

Maybe these are my prayers because of my own need for rest... rest from the worry that builds over soon sending my husband off to protect our country.

There is this one prayer I have Father, that is almost too hard to say, but I know you ask us to pray for our enemies too. So I include them in my prayers. My prayer is that you are able to find your way into their souls and give them rest. Because my heart tells me if they really knew you the evil that resides in them would begin to fade away.

Oh how I pray we all find rest in you.

In Jesus' name. Amen. Linking up with Lisa Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday
