Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up a special request for this upcoming 4th of July. We ask that You protect all pets from the frightening noise of fireworks. Please guide pet owners to bring their beloved animals inside, ensuring their safety and comfort during this time. We pray that they take the necessary precautions, such as placing identification on their pets' collars, to prevent them from getting lost if they become scared and run off.
Additionally, Lord, we pray for those who suffer from PTSD. The loud noises and sudden bursts of fireworks can be particularly distressing for them. We ask that You provide them with peace and comfort, calming their hearts and minds amidst the celebrations.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your protection and care for all Your creation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
