Prayer for America 01/19/06
Lord, many of our country's heroes have been born on the battlefield, but heroes can emerge in any event of our nation's history. Today we give you thanks for the many ordinary men and women who have shown heroism in daily life.
You have taught us that to give ourselves for others--to love our neighbors--is the highest calling a person can answer. Those who give their lives and those who risk them to keep others safe deserve our highest praise and deepest gratitude.
Bless our heroes, Lord, both great and small. We are touched by their sacrifices and enriched by their example.
