In
times
of
war
and
turmoil
In
places
far
away
Our
hearts
are
joined
in
unison
With
love
we
send
your
way
We
keep
the
fires
burning
Within
our
homes
and
hearts
For
every
day's
a
precious
one
Although
we're
far
apart
Each
day
as
you
awaken
Upon a
foreign
soil
We
think
about
your
sacrifice
With
"freedom's
cry"
for
all
And
so
it
is
this
season
When
love
is
what
we
share
We
reach
out
to
our
loved
ones
In
silent
reverent
prayer
We
hold
you
close
in
spirit
We
pray
for
your
return
Knowing
that
your
sacrifice
Is
glory
you
have
earned
And
so
it
is
you're
with
us
Until
you shall
return
Holding
on
to
hope
and
peace
With
glory
you
have
earned.

Father
as
we
come
to
you
in
prayer
we
ask
you
to
forgive
us
where
we
have
failed
you.
Dear
Lord
at
this
special
time
of
year
as
we
celebrate
the
birth
of
your
Son
Jesus
Christ
let
us
remember
the
true
meaning
of
Christmas.
Heavenly
Father
we
lift
our
Armed
Forces
and
their
families
up
to
you
and
ask
that
you
place
your
protective
armor
around
the
members
of
our
Armed
Forces
and
that
you
comfort
the
families
during
their
separation
from
each
other.
May
the
Comforter
be
with
those
families
that
have
lost
a
loved
one
in
the
war.
Father
we
ask
that
you
teach
us
the
patience
that
is
necessary
for
this
war
and
other
things
within
our
lives.
Father
we
ask
that
you
continue
to
bless
our
great
nation
and
that
the
leaders
of
our
nation
make
their
decisions
in
prayer
to
you.
Heavenly
Father
be
not
only
with
the
children
of
fathers
and
mothers
of
our
Armed
Forces,
be
with
the
spouses
also
and
give
them
the
peace
that
only
You
can
give.
We
ask
all
of
these
things
in
your
Son
Jesus
holy
name.
Amen
