Army Wife Prayer

Prayer of the Army Spouse

Dear God, I am proud to be wed to one who defends
freedom and peace

My challenges are many and I pray for your love
and guidance to meet them.

Special to me are the symbols representing my religion,
country, community, and home. I pray for the wisdom and grace to be true to
their meaning.

You are the symbol of my religious beliefs, and the
source of my strength. Because my life is full of change, I cherish the solid
and constant spiritual foundation that you provide. Help me, Lord, to be an
example of your teachings.

My national flag represents freedom. Let
me never forget, or take for granted, the hope it shows to the world. Bless
those who have made sacrifices for freedom.

As I enter the gateway to a military
community, guide me to reach out to others and keep it a wholesome place.

May my charity be given without thought to
personal rewards.

My wedding ring represents eternity and
never-ending love. Let me celebrate all of the joys of our togetherness and find
comfort in them during times of separation.

I pray, also, we are spared the ultimate
sacrifice of duty to country.

My house is a symbol of our family and its
unity. It is the place where we share memories of the past and build dreams of
the future. Make willing my heart and hands to do even the smallest tasks that
will make our house a better home.

Thank you, God, for daily being with us as
we live in the Army.

Please grant us your continued blessings,
increased strength, and infinite guidance, as we live to your honor and glory.

Maybe the author is unknown, but it was
definitely an army wife. It is such a lovely prayer.... in times of deployment, I would say all of
that and add a few lines of my own.

Please let there be more fish sticks in my
freezer.

Thank you God for every function at church
that offers free childcare.

Thank you God that the kids think I'm
awesome when we eat cereal for dinner.

Please God, grant me 5 minutes alone in
the bathroom every day. I would like to "go in peace".
