Heavenly Father, we return with grateful hearts to thank You for Your mercy upon Graybeard's beloved son ... thank You for his safe return ... thank You that You have kept him unto the time when he joyfully rejoined his anxious family.

We are mindful, Merciful Father, that this beautiful scene is recounted daily across our country, and we thank You for those who have served nobly and well, and who are safely home. Yet there are those whose lives have ended in the service of our nation, and we lift each breaking heart to You, O God, and ask that Your healing hand would be upon these families. Touch them in the very depths of their grieving hearts ... give them the knowledge that their countrymen hold very dear the precious blood that has been spilled for freedom and liberty ... there is no higher calling and no greater sacrifice, and we bow in deepest gratitude and cover their tender years with our tears.

Thank You that You know the pain that is being endured by Matt Maupin's family and friends ... sustain them unto the time when they have news of his fate. Yours is the authority over life, itself, yet we long to know that this young man would have length of days unto his children's children. Thank You that You have given to us abiding hope, and constant prayer. Look with mercy upon Matt and his family, and return him to those who love him. In the Name of Jesus, Amen ...

Our Merciful Master, I Stand in Agreement with my sister Pegita's Heaven-Sent Prayer, Thanking You for every Holy Spirit Inspired Word, and Praising You for Your Kindness to Graybeard's dear son! How Gracious You are, O Lord God of Compassion! How Merciful and how Loving You are on Behalf of Your children! Accept the Worship from our hearts, O God, and be Enthroned upon our Exaltations to our King!

Our Father, we Lift Up to You Matt Maupin and his family, Pleading that Your Mercy would Fall upon them as the Dew from Heaven, Imparting Strength, Comfort and Peace unto the family as they await any news of his fate, Lord God. Cover them in Your Grace, O King, and Return Matt to his loving family and friends, to the Praise of Your Glory, for the Exaltation of Your Name.

We Worship You, our Sweet Savior, and Ask that Your Fatherly Presence would Abide with every family who has lost a loved one in the Preservation of our Freedom. Surround them with Your Love, Merciful God, and the Consolation of Your Spirit of Grace, as we Commit them unto our Father of Merciful Peace. In Thy Name, and for Thy Glory we Pray, Lord Jesus, amen.
