WE COME IN PRAYER: Almighty God, You have given us this good
land as our heritage. Grant that we
remember Your generosity, be grateful for all Your blessings, and live an
honorable life to Your glory. This day
we remember the sacrifices made by those who put their lives on the line for
us. We are grateful that many survived,
and we shed a tear for those who paid the ultimate price. May we never forget their devotion that has
kept our freedom intact. More
importantly, we remember the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Who paid a price
He did not owe – to free us from a debt we could not pay. Hear us for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
