A Prayer For The Nation

We’re still hoping we’ll wake up. We’re still hoping we’ll open a sleepy eyes and think, “What a horrible dream!”
But we won’t. What we saw was not a dream. Planes did gouge towers. Flames did consume our fortress. People did perish. It was no dream and, dear Father, we are sad.
We are sad, Father, for as the innocent are buried, our innocence is buried as well. We thought we were safe. Perhaps we should have known better. But we didn’t.
And so we come to you. We don’t ask you for help; we beg you for it. And so we thank you for these hours of prayer. The Enemy sought to bring us to our knees. He had no idea, however, that we would kneel before you. And he has no idea what you can do. We thank you, dear Father, for these hours of unity. Americans are praying as one.
Let your mercy be upon our President, our Country, our servicemen, our law enforcement, our firefighters and volunteers. Have mercy upon the souls who have departed and the wounded who remain. Give us grace that we might forgive and faith that we might believe.
Amen
