A Veterans Day Prayer for Healing, Comfort, and Peace


This Veterans Day, we're remembering the men and women who served our country, especially those still carrying wounds that others cannot see.

For some veterans, the effects of war don't end when they return home. Painful memories, physical injuries, grief, and the loss of fellow service members can continue to affect their lives and families.

In today's Your Daily Prayer, Lynette Kittle reflects on the sacrifices made by American military veterans and the importance of praying for those who are hurting.

Psalm 34:18 reminds us that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Whether you served in the military, love someone who served, or simply want to express your gratitude this Veterans Day, we invite you to join us in prayer.

We're asking God to bring healing to wounded hearts, minds, and bodies; comfort to grieving families; and renewed strength and hope to veterans facing difficult memories.

Today's Scripture:

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

Also referenced: Joshua 1:9
