We respond in prayers of
compassion and love for those involved in the dramatic events
of September 11th
2001 in New York City, Pennsylvania,
our nation’s capitol and throughout
America as the
destructive details emerge. Dear God, we are desperate to come to You in prayer, while we sort out the surreal shock and disillusioning discouragement we are faced with. We find ourselves in a stunned emotional state of numbness. Have mercy on us as we ask for help, healing and hope for America. Dave Davidson Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer. Psalm 4:1 |

A Prayer for America Father, once again we are reminded that any security we have as individuals and as a nation comes only from the abiding hope and trust we have in You. Once again, we are cut to the heart at the loss of life and damage to peace that we have suffered as a nation. So, Father, today we come to You and we seek Your peace for the families and victims of the horrible tragedy. For those still lost in the rubble of destruction, we ask for the safety of Your hand. For those consumed by worry and fear as they try to locate missing loved ones, we ask for the comforting presence of Your Spirit. We seek Your peace for the emergency workers - that You would guard their lives as they seek to guard the lives of others. Give them the wisdom they need to perform their duties above and beyond the levels of their training.
And Father, we seek
Your peace for our nation and our world. In the midst of our questions and
uncertainty, we recognize that the unknown details of this day are already
in Your grasp. We know You sent Your Son as the Prince of Peace and even
this day falls under His command. Help us to find the strength and comfort
we need as a nation to continue to humble ourselves, pray and seek Your
face for a new day in America and a new hope for our world. |

" Our hearts and prayers are extended to the victims and the loved ones of those whose lives have been devastated by this cowardly act. But it will not destroy us or weaken our resolve. America has always rallied and drawn strength when it has faced tragedy and danger—and it will do so again. We need to pull our loved ones close, and to turn to the God of our fathers Who gave us solace and guidance in past troubling times. Specifically, I pray that the Lord will use this horrible experience to draw us to Himself. We have become self-sufficient and arrogant in recent years—as though we have no need of divine help. It is time for us to do some soul-searching, quite literally, as we reflect on this tragic day.” James Dobson |
