Precious Lord, we seek you out on a day remembered for tragedy, heartache, and loss. We are a grieving people who lost loved ones and friends. We are a hurting people who were wounded, injured, battered, and bruised. Across our land and in our faces, we still carry the horrible scars of that September day.
We are a nation who has lost sons and daughters, husbands and wives, neighbors and friends. The pursuit of freedom has come with a price at home and abroad. There is pain and suffering from our time of conflict and war.
Redeem us Lord. We cry out for your presence. We cry out for your tender mercy. Comfort our grief. Heal our brokenness. Restore us anew. Grant us your perfect peace through Jesus Christ, the Risen Savior. Amen.

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.
