~~~We will not forget~~~

Almighty God,

the past 9 years will be indelibly inscribed in our memories. We
looked with horror on the terrorist attacks of 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.

In Jesus Name. Amen.

Keep the families of 9/11 in your thoughts and prayers.

What a sad day that will live in our lives forever.

Jesus bless,

Love, Debbie
