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 This is a sad time in our history, and a time that all must come together and pray for all that have been affected by this terrorist act on innocent people. We now see how Israel feels when its men, women and children are attacked for no reason. I pray for those that are trapped and for our president, as he must pull this country back together. We must pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the United States. Rabbi Sekulow is founder of Israel's Harvest Ministries. Franklin Graham Carmen Pate Woodrow Kroll Nancy Leigh DeMoss Luis Palau Dr. James Dobson Our hearts and prayers are extended to the victims and the loved ones of those whose lives have been devastated by this cowardly act. But it will not destroy us or weaken our resolve. America has always rallied and drawn strength when it has faced tragedy and danger—and it will do so again. We need to pull our loved ones close, and to turn to the God of our fathers Who gave us solace and guidance in past troubling times. Specifically, I pray that the Lord will use this horrible experience to draw us to Himself. We have become self-sufficient and arrogant in recent years—as though we have no need of divine help. It is time for us to do some soul-searching, quite literally, as we reflect on this tragic day. Dr. Dobson is the founder and president of Focus on the Family Ray Pritchard Cardinal Edward Egan Pope John Paul II Pope John Paul II sent a telegram to President George W. Bush. "I hurry to express to you and your fellow citizens my profound sorrow and my closeness in prayer for the nation at this dark and tragic moment," he said. Speaking at his Wednesday audience, he said Americans should have the courage to persevere because "evil and death will not have the last word." He said he was praying for the victims' souls and for their families. Bishop T.D. Jakes Charles W. Colson Steve Douglass Larry Huch Dr. Frank Wright Commissioner Joe Noland
