mh1013：Prayer for 911

Heavenly Father,

We pause this day to remember the

many lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001.

They were our neighbors, friends,

co-workers, family members.

This is a day of suffering and loss that is

etched on our nation's heart.

On that day many police officers,

fire fighters, rescue workers and others

also gave their own lives to save

and serve others. We pause to remember them.

We ask that you sustain, strengthen

and give peace to those individuals in

New York, Washington, D.C. and around

the world who lost family members,

friends and co-workers to the terrorist

attacks on Sept 11.  May you grant them

your comfort.

We remember our service members in

Afghanistan, as they seek to bring freedom

and peace to a country and a people who have

seen little of either.

Amen.
