Faithful God,
We remember and give thanks for the life and public
service of John McCain.
We thank you for his service to his country
as a Naval
Aviator in the Viet Nam War who was shot down, captured,
and suffered
for five years as a prisoner of war.
Though we might not have always agreed with his
politics,
we thank
you for his service to his country as a member of the House of Representatives,
a United
States Senator,
and a
candidate for President of the nation he served and loved.
We pray that his life of service and dedication to
duty, honor, and country
might
serve as an example for all military officers and politicians.
We pray that the civility and truth telling he
displayed in public office
might
influence Republicans as well as Democrats and Independents
as
our nation faces turbulent political times and upcoming mid-tern elections.
Amen.
