Janet Parshall
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.

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
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

In light of the recent terrorist attacks on our country, we ask for your immediate and fervent prayer on behalf of our nation's victims, our government leaders, and those dedicated individuals rendering aid and assistance in New York and Washington, D.C.
We are blessed to report that all Campus Crusade staff in New York City and Washington, D.C., are well and accounted for. Many are already on the scene praying and encouraging those in shock and pain with the message of our Lord's love.
As God would have it, our President's Cabinet was in session when the attacks happened. We are dedicating ourselves to doing what Jesus would have us do in this time of national crisis.
The promise of Romans 8:28 has not ceased to be true. We have every reason to hope and not despair. Please claim God's wisdom for us and the Crisis Management Team as we continue to meet.
Steve Douglass is president of Campus Crusade for Christ.
