Prayer for Home
Far from home and those I love, I find my thoughts turning to them with affectionate longing. O God, YOu who are with my loved ones who are distant even as You are with me here, You hear their prayers even as You hear mine. Bless us and keep us united in spirit until we meet again. Let me so remember them that it will seeem we are together and that I may be warmed by their love for me and my love for them. May my thoughts of those I love so move me that I will do them honor by my deeds even when I am far from them, even in strange and foreign settings. Dear God, keep me mindful of the blessing of their love, (my love for them and their love for me and Your love for us) that I may never yeild to feelings of despondency. Help me to cheer my comrades who are also far from their families, their homes and their love ones. You, O God, are the Father of all, You are the source of all love. No one who puts his faith in You will ever feel forsaken. Amen
