Heavenly Father, we come to You today with heavy hearts.
We have lost three American service members in Iran. Three families are now facing phone calls no family ever wants to receive. Three homes will never be the same again.
Lord, we lift up the mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, children, and loved ones of these fallen heroes. Wrap Your arms around them in this unbearable moment. Give them strength when the grief feels overwhelming. Give them peace when their hearts are shattered. Remind them that their loved ones served with courage and honor.
Father, we also pray for every American soldier still on the ground in Iran right now. Protect them. Shield them from harm. Give them clarity in chaos, courage under fire, and the ability to come home safely to their families. Stand beside them in every mission and every uncertain moment.
We ask for wisdom for our leaders, protection over our troops, and comfort for every grieving family tonight.
In Jesusβ name, Amen.
