Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up a special prayer for all pet owners as we approach the 4th of July. Lord, we ask for Your protection over our beloved pets who are often frightened by the loud noises of fireworks. Please guide pet owners to take the necessary precautions to keep their pets safe and secure. May they remember to put their name, address, and phone number on their pets' collars and bring them inside to avoid the risk of them running off in fear.
We also pray for those who suffer from PTSD, Lord. The noise of fireworks can be particularly distressing for them. We ask that You provide them with peace and comfort during this time. Surround them with Your love and protection, and help them find ways to cope with the noise.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
