| PRAYER OF A FIREFIGHTER'S WIFE Lord, I can't help but worry when I know what his day may hold. Every time he puts that uniform on I feel like saying, "Don't go". He chose to be a firefighter, the love for his job I can't deny. Still each time he's called to a fire, I fear for his safety and life. Help me put my faith in you, each time he's called to a scene. Remind me that it's you, oh Lord, who has control of all things. |
| FREMAN'S PRAYER When I am called to duty, God Wherever flames may rage; Give me strength to save some life Whatever be it's age. Help me embrace a little child Before it is too late; Or save an older person from The horrors of that fate. Enable me to be alert And hear the weakest shout, And quickly and efficiently To put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and To give the best in me; To guard my every neighbor And protect my property. And if according to your will I have to lose my life. Please bless with your protecting hand My children and my wife. |
| PRAYER FOR FIREMEN Dearest Father in Heaven we humbly pray, keep our firemen safe today. They who risk their lives for us, our prayers we do entrust. These kind good souls face imminent dangers, saving people who are virtual strangers. They never ask nor question why, they fight to save those who might otherwise die. Oh gracious Father, we cherish these fearless hereos who fight. We pray you shelter them with your heavenly light. Be with them and help them as they do their best then, when duty's done, give them peace and blessed rest. Their lives are hard and full of stress, underpaid and oft forgotten. Remind those who send them forth that their sacrifice is as one that you once begotten. |
