Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 reminds us that "There is an appointed time for everything...and there is a time for every event under heaven..."

A Prayer for 9-11

Father God, this is the season when we focus our prayers more on those who lost loved ones on  9-11...eleven years ago. This is the time that we intentionally forget about ourselves and lift up those who continue to mourn the loss of their loved ones. This is the time that we honor those who innocently lost their lives.

Hear this our prayer for a peace that passes all understanding for the many who still ask why; we pray for a spirit of forgiveness among those who may still harbor ill will against those who orchestrated such evil acts.

Guide our hearts toward healing and hope. Keep us safe in Your arms. Comfort those who grieve, provide compassion for those alienated and inspiration to all who seek an end to violence and hatred in this world.


Remind us that You are the God of yesterday, today and tomorrow...that Your love and your light are extended to all. We ask this prayer in the Name of Jesus the Christ. A-men.
