Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that this nation has been deemed to be as vibrant today as we were before the horrendous assault on 9/11. We thank You for the resilience of our countrymen and for the richness of our resources, but it is by Your grace and mercy that this is so. You have appointed George W. Bush to lead us in a time such as this ... surely, Your hand continues to rest upon us.

Yet there is unease as we go into these days of honoring our precious sons and daughters for their service and sacrifice. The enemy wishes to strike at us again and again, and he will be afforded many opportunities in a free and open society. Let not one threat or attack against our President or his family be successful; let not one threat or attack against any of our leaders be successful; let not one plan of attack on our country be carried out; let nothing stand of the enemy except his absolute defeat. May our vigilance join with that of our defenders, even as we go about in the honor and activity of Memorial Day events. May our national heart be laid bare with tearful gratitude as we thank these men and women and their families. May a special blessing rest upon each household that has sent forth a defender, many not to return to the warmth of their home. We bow our heads and our hearts to You, and them, in gratitude.

Walk with us through these days, Merciful Father, for surely the enemy is at hand, but greater are You than he. Strengthen us for the conflict ... grant success to the mission ... glorify Yourself among us, in the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

Amen and Amen.

Pegita, words can not express how comforting and what a big part of my life your prayers have become.

With all of my heart, I thank you.
