United in Prayer

Today may we all spend a part of our day, devoted to prayer. I especially want to pray for the families and friends of those who lost their lives seven years ago today. I also want to pray for the many men and women who are protecting our country right now, preventing another such attack. May they be comforted by the Lord's presence and feel surrounded by His love.






May we all put aside our differences and unite as Americans today as we lift up our brothers and sisters in prayer.

Almighty God,

The past year will be indelibly inscribed in our memories.


We looked with horror on the terrorist attacks of last September 11th.But we looked with honor on acts of courage by ordinary people who sacrificed themselves to prevent further death and destruction.


We shed our tears in a common bond of grief for those we loved and lost.We journeyed through a dark valley, but your light has led us to a place of hope.You have turned our grief into determination. We are resolved to do what is good, and right, and just.


Help us to remember what it means to be Americans—a people endowed with abundant blessings. Help us to cherish the freedoms we enjoy and inspire us to stand with courage, united as one Nation in the midst of any adversity.


Lord, hear this prayer for our Nation. Amen.
