Remembering 9/11

September 11th, 2001 unquestionably represents one of our darkest days in history. While we may heal with time, we certainly will never forget what happened. Prayer was the response of many that day. More than 20 years later, the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks is still an occasion in which we gather together for prayer. We may not stand side by side physically but we’re united in Christ when we lift up our hearts in prayer to remember this day. A 9/11 Anniversary Prayer: "God of Peace and Mercy, on this anniversary for September 11, we lift up the souls who perished on that day. Welcome them with loving arms into Your kingdom. Comfort their families and friends. Help us to mourn alongside them with a constant compassion that can only be rooted in You. May we look to the first responders that day to inspire us to live bravely and courageously, and to selflessly protect others in need. May we look to those who opened up their homes to the stranded and displaced that day to stir us to be more hospitable. Having seen the face of evil and darkness, may we be steadfast and faithful in pursuing You, our perpetual Light. In Jesus’s name we pray. Amen."
