Usually, I post a devotional here or, as of last night, a music video that I love, but today we need to observe the passing of time and the horrendous occurrence on September 11th, 2001. We watched in horror as the second plane plummeted into the second tower, the first already smoking from a 747 hitting it. It was obvious by that time that it was a terrorist attack, very deliberate.
When the news came out that a third plane had hit the Pentagon, we were all thinking that we were not only under attack but that it was possible that hundreds of other places could have the same problems. A fourth plane had crashed in Pennsylvania. Would this nightmare ever end. Then the unthinkable…the first tower collapsed. The second followed soon after. My tears would not stop that day and I am having trouble writing this right now.
Through it all, I was praying and, with confidence and a knowledge of God I knew that thousands of Christians all over the world, as they heard the news, were also praying for the families, for the survivors, for those who would commit this awful act. Yes, we must pray for those people too. They have no idea what they are doing, led by fanatics and maniacs, totally deceived in their beliefs.
Today, on the anniversary of this horrifying event, we must do what we did then, pray for those who are hurting, the families of those who lost their lives and for those who still wish to hurt us. This day, six years ago, was the saddest day I think I have had except when my Dad, Grandfather and Grandmothers died (separately in different years). Even then, it was not horrifying, simply sad and hurting. I cannot imagine the hurt and pain that was felt by those who lost loved ones in the planes, at the Pentagon or at the World Trade Center.
Please join now with me in prayer for those who are hurting:
Father, I come to You today in pain and hurting for others who are hurting even more than I. Please touch them with Your Peace and healing hands that they may feel the Peace of God that passes all understanding. Please show them who You are, their Creator, their life, the Love of their life. We honor You this day with our prayers of thanksgiving even in the tough times. We thank You that You are here for us. We pray that all who ask for You will receive You into their hearts. Thank You, Lord, for Your sacrifice for us. In Your Name, Amen.
This day is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it! (Psalm 118:24)
