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?'

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.

First off, all our prayers go out to all the victims and their families of these terrorist attacks.
These tragic events help us understand the challenges that Israel faces in trying to negotiate with a people that send their children into the street to celebrate disaster and death.
This is why God has asked us to pray for our own governments, for general peace in the Middle East and specifically in Jerusalem.
Any religion that endorses murdering of innocent people is obviously not a religion of the compassionate and merciful God of our faith.
Secondly, we are praying for all of America along with countless numbers of others, believing that terrorism will not strike this great nation again.
Larry Huch is pastor of New Beginnings Christian Center in Portland, Ore.
