Let’s Pray As We Remember

Almighty God, September 11, 2001 will be indelibly inscribed in our memories. We looked with horror on the terrorist attacks on that day. But we looked with honor on acts of courage by ordinary people who sacrificed themselves to prevent further death and destruction. We shed our tears in a common bond of grief for those we loved and lost. We journeyed through a dark valley, but Your light has led us to a place of hope. You have turned our grief into determination. We are resolved to do what is good, and right, and just. Help us to remember what it means to be Americans ~ a people endowed with abundant blessings. Help us to cherish the freedoms we enjoy and inspire us to stand with courage, united as one Nation under God in the midst of any adversity.

Lord, here this prayer for our Nation. Amen.

This prayer was adapted from a prayer compiled by a Navy Chaplain for The White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance.
