REMEMBERING 9/11/01

 

Dear Lord,  loving Creator of us all, we remember with great sadness those whose lives were taken on September 11, 2001.  We hold up to you the victims’ families that they may know, despite their pain,  they can solace in your loving presence. Help them bring their hurting hearts to you, realizing that your everlasting arms can bear them up and that they cannot be separated from your abiding love. Please assure us that even though we cannot understand such horrible deeds, you can bring good our of evil, justice our of injustice  and  righteousness  out of righteousness  out  of unrighteousness.Therefore, Confessing our human weakness,  our grief and our struggles to make sense out of this world. We cry out with the psalmist: Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand; do not forget our oppressed.” ( Psalm 10:12)

Strengthen our hearts, this day and every day.  Amen.

Our Lord’s servant, Bro. Terrell
