207: A Prayer for Memorial Day Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

Featured text: "A Prayer for Memorial Day"

A Prayer for Memorial Day. Donavon Riley and Christopher Gillespie read and reflect on a Memorial Day prayer from the Lutheran Book of Prayer — on the sacrifices made for freedom, the place and limits of civic duty, and the grace by which we are saved through faith in Christ apart from our works.

SHOW NOTES:

A Prayer for Memorial Day https://blog.cph.org/read/a-prayer-for-memorial-day

Gracious Lord, heavenly Father, on this day we pause to remember the sacrifices made for freedom throughout the past centuries. We do indeed owe a debt of gratitude to those who have paid dearly for the liberty we enjoy. Yet, O Lord, I know that good government, peace, and freedom are really gifts granted from Your fatherly hand, as I confess in the Creed. As we remember those who have served our nation, help us to remember that civic duty, no matter how well done, does not grant entrance into Your kingdom. We are saved by grace, through faith in Christ, apart from our works. Freed from the Law's demands, I know that I am now free to serve my neighbor for my neighbor's sake. May the sacrifices of those who have gone before me serve as examples. When I meet those who have served, remind me to thank them. Almighty God, guide the leaders of our nation. Watch over those who serve in our armed forces, especially those far from home. And above all, grant that we, Your children by faith in Christ, may find a field of service in which we, as salt and leaven, may uphold righteousness, order, and peace; in Jesus' name. Amen.

-- Lutheran Book of Prayer / "On Memorial Day"
