Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up a special request for this upcoming 4th of July. We ask for Your protection over all pets who are frightened by the noise of fireworks. Please guide pet owners to take the necessary steps to keep their beloved animals 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 fear and confusion that the loud noises can cause.
We also pray for those who suffer from PTSD and are deeply affected by the sound of fireworks. Lord, grant them peace and comfort during this time. Surround them with Your calming presence and help them to find ways to cope with the noise.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
