By REVEREND BARBARA SEXTON
Dear Ones Healing Ministry
Dear Lord:
We come before you as your humble servants...full of gratitude and awe that you have made us a fine nation. And what we pray for is that all of us here come to realize that very thing.
We come before you as your humble servants...full of gratitude and awe that you have made us a fine nation. And what we pray for is that all of us here come to realize that very thing.
We pray that as a nation we are able to grasp the depth and breadth of the sacrifices made so that those who grouse and grumble unceasingly learn to appreciate that they can do so freely and safely in this land precisely because of those sacrifices of others.
We pray that the nay-sayers, the anti-patriots and those--the 'un'-American's privileged to live in the United States of America-- learn to acknowledge and respect what they have, where they have it and why they have it. As a peoples, we are born of either Native American's here originally from whom much has been taken or we belong to a group who has emigrated here. Even so, we have managed to 'come to an accord' agreeing that we are simply 'Americans'...in this grand endeavor together. We ask you, Lord, that we serve as an example to the 'nay-sayers' and be a healing presence.

We pray that all who disparage and disrespect the U.S. military never find themselves in a situation where they have to 'depend' exactly upon the U.S. military they so revile...But if it is your Will that this be the case, let it be as a clear example of your unending Forgiveness and Love working through the United States Armed Forces and we who support them.
We believe we are 'One Nation Under God', which too many deny time after time. And so we ask that you let our good works 'as a Nation' be a true reflection and proof of your Goodness, Father God. May even those who deny your very existence be so overwhelmed by the Compassion and Mercy in this great country of ours that they be healed of their 'disbelief'.
All judgment and punishment are yours, Lord, but we have a request that you multiply the blessings and benevolences of those who gave their all--their very lives--for the United States Of America. May the world see that you are truly the Lord and Master of The United States of America, which no man or woman may deny.
God, your enemies are our enemies. Yet you tell us that 'the battle is not ours, but yours'.* With that kind of assurance and along with our great warriors, what do we have to fear?

Thank you, Lord.
We know that you bless the United States Armed Forces and our allies. We know that you love them all, in all our colorful diversity, cultures, traditions and differences, united together as citizens of the U.S.A.
May you bless our warriors this Memorial Day that they be not afraid and that they know fully the extent of the gratitude and awe we have for them all, in this life and the next. We pray that you heal those who are maimed and injured discharging their duties to protect and preserve our country.
Thank you, Lord.
We pray these things in the Judeo-Christian tradition of the founders of our country, in the Name of our Messiah, as we await the ushering in of the Holy City, the new Jerusalem. We call you God or Creator or Great Spirit and you answer. We pray in remembrance of those we call 'prophets', 'ancestors' and 'saints' and receive great blessings. You hear our prayers, Great Father and that is all we need to know to be secure in our country.
We appreciate that you appreciate us, our Lord and our Protector, on this Memorial Day.
AMEN and AMEN.
