Lord God,

We pray for liberation from the bondage of sin.

We ask that You would bless those who stand and

bear arms to protect our earthly freedom.

We thank You for Your son, our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ, who gave his life for our spiritual freedom.

In gratitude for Your goodness, we pray that

we may live our lives in a way that glorifies You.

May we live to bless others and lead them to

freedom in Christ, in whose name we pray.

Amen.
