Father in heaven, as bombs fall in Iran, we ask that you please protect the Iranian people who are suffering the consequences of war.

We ask also that you please send the Holy Spirit to inspire our leaders with wisdom and prudence to guide their decisions.

May that wisdom and prudence also touch the hearts and minds of any nations who might contemplate involvement in this conflict.

And finally, Father, we beg the protection of all American military personnel currently deployed in the Iran region, that none will be injured or lost.

Amen.
