Lord, we tend to take forgranted those wonderful men and women who stand between us and the dangers of our society, just as we often take your Love for us forgranted until such times as we face our own trials.
Help us to be more aware and to express our appreciation to those who serve here at home in unglamorous roles as well as those in harm's way in our military.
Bless the family who lost father and husband and all those who knew and love them. Temper the hearts and minds of Michale's commrades as they seek out and deal with his killer(s).
Lord, be with these people and bring them peace through closer walk with you. Keep all those who serve in so many capacities safe from harm and bring them closer to you and your Grace.
