Precious God, we remember this day with sorrow. We remember it with heartache, pain, and despair. Lives lost and visions of destruction linger with us.
Lift up our faces. Take the tears from our eyes. Lighten our hearts. Strengthen and restore us with your power and grace.
Psalm 147:3 declares that you, “heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds.” Be our God. Be a stronghold in time of trial. Be our redeemer, comforter, and friend.
Let your healing mercy be a salve upon our hearts. Allow it to rain down from heaven and minister to our hurt and pain. Sustain us with your peace and grace.
Heavenly Father may we always find our strength in you.

A Prayer for 9-11

Heavenly Father, we seek you and your healing mercy.
As flags fly low and candles are lit, we remember the pain and suffering of a horrible day. We remember the loss of life, the destruction, and the chaos of that fateful morning. Sorrow remains. Grief returns. Heartache and despair weigh us down.
Almighty God comfort and calm our souls. Turn our hearts into an altar where healing can take place. Transform our spirits into a place of peace. Allow restoration and redemption in our lives. We are a people who need you and your presence.
As conflict begins anew and warriors move into harm’s way, protect them and guide their way. Comfort the families who are divided by war and give them the strength necessary for every day apart. Minister to their needs and surround them with your love.
Lord, hear our prayer. We are a nation and a people who need you. Allow us to feel your healing mercy through our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
