November Prayer ... by Craig and Karen Ruhl

Heavenly Father, oh how we love you and praise your name! Lord God, we ask for you to bless all our veterans around the world. Bless their families and bring healing where it is needed. We are so grateful for the men and women who have served our country.

As we go through this month, our thoughts will be on Thanksgiving Day. Please bless the families that will celebrate together. Let them spend special time together, reminiscing, sharing a meal, and taking time to hug and love one another.

We thank you for all the new babies in the world. We pray for you to protect them in all phases of their lives. We pray for all children worldwide that this new young generation will grow up knowing you and change the lives of everyone around them in a positive and loving way. We pray that the little ones get to know you and follow you all the days of their lives.

Father God, we pray you end the wars, feed the hungry, heal those who are sick, and help each of us love one another and help those who are less fortunate.

We pray in the mighty name of Christ Jesus. Amen.
