A Call to Prayer ...from many religious leaders Please click the blue triangle to reach what each had to say. Billy Graham Sheila Walsh Craig Parshall 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 Craig Parshall is a trial lawyer in Virginia who specializes in cases involving religious and civil liberties and pro-family issues. Janet Parshall Rabbi Scott Sekulow Franklin Graham Carmen Pate Woodrow Kroll Nancy Leigh DeMoss Luis Palau Dr. James Dobson Ray Pritchard 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." Cardinal Edward Egan Pope John Paul II Bishop T.D. Jakes Charles W. Colson Steve Douglass Larry Huch 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.
