911

The pain of the 911 twin towers is remembered today. People will be crying, reflecting. praying, forgiving, hurting and trying to understand it all. This is a real subject of hurt for America, with no simple answers.

Today, Let's seek not to "understand the why" but to answer with "what now, Lord?" What would You like for me to do in light of what has happened? How can I glorify You in and through this situation?

Let's begin by lifting these families that have expereinced real, heart-wrenching lost before the Lord.

"Father, we come to You today because You are our God. You are a God of comfort and compassion. We ask for Your hand of love on the lives of those who will remember 911 as a time of great personal loss. Move each soul to the act of forgiveness. Move them to the act of love. Move them to the act of community and friendship.

Lord, You created the world and called it "good". We, in our lust for independence from You, decided we knew best. We ask forgiveness for our arrangance. We are sorry Lord.

Continue to call us back to Your ways. Call us back to loving our fellow man and for caring for our neighbour. Call the nations to repentance and grace. Stop the evil man and reward the righteous in all their ways. Bless the nations, Lord.

Lord, may the mighty power of forgiveness and love begin with me. Thank You, Lord."
