We grieve deeply for those who have lost loved ones in what appears to be a senseless, vicious act of terrorism against our nation. We are confident that President Bush and our national leaders will act swiftly to protect our borders, and bring those responsible for this cowardly act to justice. But we must also remember that God is still very much in control. We look to the Word of God for answers:
Some boast of chariots, and some of horses;
but we boast of the name of the Lord our God.
They will collapse and fall;
but we shall rise and stand upright.
Give victory to the king, O Lord;
answer us when we call. Psalm 20: 7-9

Where is God in all this? The crushing magnitude of this tragedy has sent this question across a broken and bleeding nation. Without sidestepping hard questions or slipping into pat answers, we've been suddenly called by God to offer comfort, solace, encouragement, and hope to those we know and love. We pray that God will provide His grace and mercy to all those whose lives and families have been devastated by these acts of terrorism.

First off, all our prayers go out to all the victims and their families of these terrorist attacks.
These tragic events help us understand the challenges that Israel faces in trying to negotiate with a people that send their children into the street to celebrate disaster and death.
This is why God has asked us to pray for our own governments, for general peace in the Middle East and specifically in Jerusalem.
Any religion that endorses murdering of innocent people is obviously not a religion of the compassionate and merciful God of our faith.
Secondly, we are praying for all of America along with countless numbers of others, believing that terrorism will not strike this great nation again.
Larry Huch is pastor of New Beginnings Christian Center in Portland, Ore.
