Holy, merciful Father, in the midst of upheaval and crisis here on this earth, we lift our eyes up and by faith we acknowledge that You are still on Your throne and that 'Heaven rules' (Dan. 4:26). We have been dramatically reminded in the events of this day that there is no true security or safety apart from You. No human systems or devices can protect us if You are not defending us. Help us to find refuge and to place our trust in You. Help us to realize that the greatest threat facing our nation is not human terrorism, but the withdrawal of Your presence as a result of our national rejection of Your authority.

What we have seen today--horrifying as it is--pales in comparison with the fury and devastation of Your final judgment on those who reject You. Thank You for Your mercy that triumphs over judgment. May our hearts be repentant and fully surrendered to You; and may we take seriously our calling to join You in Your redemptive purposes, to boldly proclaim the gospel of Christ, and to urge men and women everywhere to flee from the wrath to come. May the lives and prayers of Your people inspire those who do not know You to run to Christ, in Whom alone they can find eternal refuge and peace that overcomes all fear. May Your Name be hallowed, Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth this day, as it is in Heaven. Amen.

Nancy Leigh DeMoss is the host of Revive Our Hearts.

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.

Luis Palau is an evangelist and author of 'Where Is God When Bad Things Happen?'

O Heavenly Father, you alone are the Lord of all things. Before the mountains were formed, before the stars were in the sky, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

We acknowledge, O Lord, that you are sovereign over all things and that nothing can happen apart from you. In our grief and in our confusion, we come to you because today we truly have nowhere else to turn. Your Word tells us that it is vain to trust in horses and chariots for safety. We your people trust in the name of the Lord our God.

Ray Pritchard is Senior Pastor of Calvary Memorial Church in Oak Park, Ill. and author of several books, including "An Anchor for the Soul" and "In the Shadow of the Cross."
