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 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 Bishop T.D. Jakes The terrorist attacks on the United States have stunned our nation. I want to call all Americans to pray. Pray for the victims and their families. Pray for the emergency workers so overwhelmed by these multiple incidents. Pray for President Bush as he sorts through the details of this horrific attack on our nation. Pray for the people so lost and desperate that they would resort to such an act. While we can never understand why these things happen, we must remember that God is with us in this time of pain and loss. He will not leave us or forsake us. This is a time for prayer, for courage and for Americans to support one another as we carry on. Bishop T.D. Jakes is pastor of The Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas, and the author of a number of books. Charles W. Colson Steve Douglass Larry Huch Dr. Frank Wright Commissioner Joe Noland
