Remembering with Prayers

avatar Published in Untagged  by Pastor Mark

Where were you six years ago today when you heard the news?  What were you doing and what were the first thoughts and feelings that you expressed.  Six years ago on a beutiful September morning our world change forever.  September 11, 2001 was a day that affected our lives and those of the next generation in an incredible way.  When terrorists, truly hell bent on destroying everything and everyone used planes as weapons and took the lives of 3,000 people all of us stood in shock at the senseless destruction.  I remember what I felt that day, anger, rage, anxiousness.  Watching and listening to the accounts on the news. Seeing loved ones post pictures on makeshift walls asking if they anyone had seen their family member or friend.  Wondering what it all meant.

Now six years later we are asking you not to forget!  Our tendancy is to move on unless the terror struct us personally unlesss we lost someone or we experienced something ourselves. But on this anniversary of 9/11, I am asking you to remember and to pray.  Remember those families who are still hurting and are trying to rebuild their lives.  Remember those rescue workers who saw things unimagineable, remember our milatary personnel whose lives were changed forever that day. But don't just remember, Pray.

Will you join with me today and pray for our nation, that God will not only protect us, but bring us back to Him. Will you pray with me for the Grace of God to be with the families of all those who lost loved ones on 9/11.  Will you pray with me for all of our servicemen and women who are serving in the fight to protect our nation.   God's promise is sure when He says, If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways. Then I will hear from Heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land.  Let's remember and pray
