Ft. Hood in my prayers...

As some of you may know, I am a veteran of the United States Air Force. My heart is very near and dear to those who serve our country. I know what it's like to live a military life and I will be the first to tell you it's not easy.

So, when I heard about today's shooting at Ft. Hood, my heart sunk. It is so sad. My prayers go out to the friends and families of those who were injured or killed.

Love & Blessings,
Monique

Prayer for Our Military
O Prince of Peace, we humbly ask Your protection for all our men
and women in military service. Give them unflinching courage to
defend with honor, dignity and devotion the rights of all who are
imperiled by injustice and evil. Guard our churches, our homes,
our schools, our hospitals, our factories, our buildings, and all
those within from harm and peril. Protect our land and its people
from enemies within and without. Grant an early peace with victory
founded upon justice. Instill in the hearts and minds of me and
women everywhere a firm purpose to live forever in peace and
good will towards all.

Amen
