Prayer 2 of 4

Thou whose only desire is that all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well:
Share our rejoicings.

As the United States celebrates Veterans Day (Nov. 11), we pray for all who have served in the armed forces, for the veterans who came home triumphant, and those who came home broken, for those who still serve today. We pray that they may be honored, that they may be safe, that they may be freed from fear and danger and nightmare memories. Above all, we pray for the day when there shall be no more wars to endanger the lives of anyone, anywhere, in the whole world.

Thou whose only desire is that all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well:
Hear our longings.
