According to the Associated Press, "On Dec. 7, 1941, Imperial Japan's navy launched a preemptive attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, one of a series of raids in the Pacific. The United States declared war against Japan the next day."
The following "Morning Prayer in Time of War" is from A Pocket Prayer Book and Devotional Guide, compiled by Ralph Spalding Cushman and published in 1941 by The Upper Room:
"O Lord God Almighty, who from Thy throne dost behold all the dwellers upon earth, look down with pity upon those on whom have fallen the miseries of war. Have compassion on the wounded and dying; comfort the brokenhearted; assuage the madness of the nations; make war to cease; give peace in our time, O Lord, we ask it in the name of Him who is the Prince of Peace, even Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
