Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up a special request for all pet owners as we approach the 4th of July. Lord, we ask for Your protection over our beloved pets who are 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 identification 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 for Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Comfort them and provide them with the support they need during this time.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
