Prayer of safety to a soldier in a time of war.

for those who's loved ones are fighting in a war.

Bold-hearted Ares, bright-helmed son of thundering Zeus

and noble Hera, well-honored god of war,

any battle will you face, any foe will you fight,

without fear and without hestitation. Ares,

god of warriors, ally of those who risk their lives

on the field, to you do soldiers offer their prayers.

You know each one’s name, O Ares, you know their lives,

you know their worth. Great Ares, I pray to you,

watch over ____________ who heeded your call,

who practices your art, whose name you know well,

for s/he is one of your own who does you honor

with each day s/he serves. Ares, I pray to you.

May indeed this prayer be heard. May Ares watch over the brave souls who have dared to sacrifice their lives to protect others. Wonderful work!

Unfortunately, this is a timely prayer. Too many of our brave sons and daughters have gone away to war in a strange land. I offer this prayer, then, for all of those men and women. May they come home safely to their families.
Thank you for sharing this much-needed prayer...
