In the midst of what appears to be national chaos, I am comforted by the profound reality that God is not pacing in His throne room, wondering what He should do next. He is and always will be our sovereign Lord. It is so important, as our president ponders what the United States' response must be, that we remember that "the heart of the King is in the hand of God." The people who love our eternal King must be in constant prayer for President Bush. May God grant him the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of Job and the discernment of Paul. And may God bless America.

Janet Parshall is host of the radio program Janet Parshall's America.

I praise God that I may enter His throne room for His comfort and wisdom during this difficult time. I praise Him for His sovereignty over the good and bad events of our lives. With God, nothing is accidental, nothing is incidental, and no event is wasted. He holds in His power our breath of life and our destiny. Every tragedy He allows to happen is a platform on which He reveals Himself, showing His love and power to the world. I thank Him that I can move into the future nondefensively, with hands outstretched to whatever lies ahead, for He holds the future and will always be with me, even to my old age ... and through all eternity.

God is our refuge and our strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalm 46: 1-3

Carmen Pate is former president of Concerned Women for America (CWA), and a radio and television personality.

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."
