REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 2001, 911

FATHER , SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 , A DAY THAT IS FOREVER ENGRAVED IN OUR MEMORIES .

A DAY WHEN HOPE AROSE OUT OF ASHES . FAITH IN GOD SPRANG UP ANEW , AND OUR

FAITH IS SPOKEN OF THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD . EVEN THOUGH SOME DID NOT

BELIEVE , THEIR UNBELIEF DID NOT MAKE THE FAITH OF GOD WITHOUT EFFECT . LET US

LOVE ONE ANOTHER FOR LOVE IS OF GOD ; AND EVERYONE THAT LOVES IS BORN OF GOD ,

AND KNOW GOD . NOW ABIDES FAITH , HOPE , AND LOVE , THESE THREE ; BUT THE GREAT

OF THESE IS LOVE . WILL YOU PLEASE JOIN ME IN PRAYER IN REMEMBERING ALL THOSE

THAT TOOK PART IN 911.


FATHER , AS WE REMEMBER THE EVILS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 LET US TURN OUR HEARTS

AND MINDS TOWARD THE FOUND IN YOU ; BE CLOSE TO THOSE WHO MOURN ; THE PARENTS

THAT LOST CHILDREN , THE CHILDREN WHO NEVER KNEW A PARENT , AND ALL WHO LOST

A LOVED ONE . EMBRACE THIS GRIEVING NATION , AND LET TIME NEVER LESSEN THE

IMPACT OF THIS DAY ; MAY WE NEVER FORGET ; PROTECT THOSE WHO GO IN HARMS WAY

TO SAVE OTHERS AND THOSE WHO SUFFER AND DIE TO SAFEGUARD OUR NATION . GIVE

WIDOME TO OUR LEADERS THAT THEY MAY MAKE CHOICES THAT PREVENT ANOTHER DAY

SUCH AS THIS ; CONVERT THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO SEEK OUR DESTRUCTION , AND

BANISH FROM THE WORLD THE DARKNESS THAT ALLOWS SUCH HATE TO FESTER AND

GROW. LET YOUR LOVE RAIN DOWN UPON US , AND LET YOUR PEACE FLOURISH ON EARTH .

EVEN IN THE MIDST OF MUDANE DAILY TASKS , EVEN IN THE MIDST OF DIFFICULTY OR

SORROW , EVEN IN THE MIDST OD A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD , THE LIGHT OF GOD

SHINES BRIGHTLY . WE LIFT UP TO YOU ALL THOSE WHO EVEN TODAY , 12 YEARS LATER ,

SUFFER FROM THE LOSS OF 911 , FROM NEW YORK TO IRAQ THE TRAGEDY HAS DEEPLY

AND PROFOUNDLY EFFECTED MILLIONS . MAY WE CONTINUE TO HEAL AND HELP EACH

OTHER AS WE DID THAT DAY AS THE LIGHT OF GOD OF GOD SURROUNDS US , THE LOVE

OF GOD ENFOLDS US , THE POWER OF GOD PROTECTS US , THE PRESENCE OF GOD WATCHES

OVER US , WHERE EVER WE ARE GOD IS . AMEN, AMEN .


YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD .... LET YOUR LIGHT
SHINE --- MATTHEW 5;14-16
