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 Janet Parshall Rabbi Scott Sekulow Franklin Graham Carmen Pate Woodrow Kroll Nancy Leigh DeMoss 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. Luis Palau 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?' Dr. James Dobson Ray Pritchard Cardinal Edward Egan Cardinal Edward Egan, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York, praised the city's fire fighters and police officers for rushing to help those in need. "I saw New York at its best," he said. "I saw police officers and fire fighters careless of their own safety, interested in only serving this great city, covered in soot. I saw many of them bleeding from the necks and arms. They're New York at its best." Pope John Paul II Bishop T.D. Jakes Charles W.
