May 31, 2026: Fighting with Prayer

A Memorial Day Prayer
Wellspring UMC

Almighty God, before whom stand the living and the dead,
we Your children, whose mortal life is but a hand’s breadth, give thanks to you:
For all those through whom you have blessed our pilgrimage,
whose lives that have empowered us,
whose influence is a healing grace,
we lift up thankful hearts.

For the dear friends and family members whose faces we see no more, but whose love is with us forever...

For the teachers and companions of our childhood and youth, and for the members of our household of faith who worship You now in heaven…

For those who sacrificed themselves, our brothers and sisters who have given their lives for the sake of others…

That we may hold them all in continual remembrance, and ever think of them as with You in that city whose gates are not shut by day and where there is no night…

That we may now be dedicated to working for a world where labor is rewarded, fear dispelled, and the nations made one, O Lord, save Your people. Day by day we magnify you, and worship Your name, for ever and ever.

Amen.

"The Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery is one of three American military cemeteries located in Belgium. Many of the American service members buried and commemorated here lost their lives during two major efforts during WWII: one covering the U.S. First Army's drive in September 1944 through northern France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg into Germany; and the second covering the Battle of the Bulge."

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

We remember. 🌸
