Dear Friends:
It is hard to believe that it has been twenty years since the events of September 11, 2001, which stands as a memory etched within our lives forever as if time stood still.
Everyone has a story of what they were doing the day such a horrific tragedy occurred, and that pain still resonates deeply within. It is a bond that we share not only as Americans but also as members of the human race.
The day began as just another autumn day but left us shaken to our core. Although it has been two decades, let us come together in prayer so that we may never forget the lives lost, the families affected, and the memory of September 11th, 2001.
Father God,
Help us never to forget the memory of those lost to the events of 9/11.
Lord, we pray for the memories of those who lost their lives to rescue, help, and save others, such as the firefighters, the police, and the civilians who offered a hand.
May their bravery be remembered, and not just as a footnote in history books.
Lord, we pray for the innocent victims who were killed that heartbreaking day. We thank You for each and every single one of their lives. We thank You for the mark they left on their families and friends and on this earth. Even if we did not know them personally, they mattered to the story of our world, and we thank You for them.
Help us to not lose sight with time of these souls; help us become ever mindful that they were made in Your image, and that their lives held such great value.
We ask this in your name,
Amen!
Friends I invite you to please share with us what is on your heart and your prayer requests today.
Our team requests the honor and blessing of lifting you up in prayer, particularly on this day.
With thanksgiving for your friendship, and prayers for your peace,
