A Soldier’s Prayer

John serves in the Middle East, far from the comfort of home, sleeping in a tent each night. Before he tries to sleep, he pulls out the same worn photo from his pocket—the one of his wife, Emily, holding their newborn baby. He smiles for a brief moment before the ache sets in.

He hasn’t held his child. He missed the first cries, the precious early moments that every father hopes to never miss. While many are safe at home with their families, John holds onto one prayer: to return home safely, to see his wife again, and to finally hold his baby in his arms.

Tonight, he asks for something simple from strangers he may never meet—a prayer, a little hope, a blessing to carry him through. “Please pray for my safety so I can come home to them.”

If this touched your heart, leave an Amen for John and all the troops serving far from home.
