Easter Prayer

By Chad Robichaux – 
I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter season! 
During this season, I want to recognize the reason for the season; the burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice, as He carried His cross for our sins, died and was resurrected for our freedom. On this powerful day, let us join together and give thanks to God for that freedom and those Warriors, around the world, who fight for America’s freedom and others who can’t defend themselves.
These Warriors are our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, parents, neighbors, classmates and friends, so please join me as we lift them and their families up in prayer:

Dear Lord, 
My heart is filled with gratitude for the Warriors who serve our country, and for the sacrifices their families make so that we can all enjoy the blessing of freedom.
I’m so thankful that you have called these Warriors to protect us, and for giving them all the courage needed to do their job so well.  
God, help them to see You working in their lives each and every day, whether deployed, or at home.  Surround them with mighty angels, while You protect them with Your mercy and cover them with Your grace.  Guard their hearts while they are far from loved ones, and bless them with moments to cherish when they are at home.
Lord, hold these families close, while they look to You for the strength and peace that only can come from You.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
