Sheila Walsh
Most Sovereign Holy God,
Your people turn to you today as we become aware of the devastation
that has inflicted our cities, our homes and our hearts.
We ask for your comfort to pour down from heaven to all who mourn.
We ask for peace to rest on all who fear.
We ask for healing for those who are broken.
We rest in the absolute assurance that you are in control.
We know that we are not immune from the evil that is present in this
world but we are not people of this world. We are people of eternity.
Lord, we ask that in this day of terror hearts will turn to you.
Glorify your name as we turn to you.
Amen.
The LORD is my light and my salvation -- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life -- of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. -- Psalm 27
Sheila Walsh is a speaker for Women of Faith conferences, author and recording artist.

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.

Ray Pritchard
O Heavenly Father, you alone are the Lord of all things. Before the mountains were formed, before the stars were in the sky, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
We acknowledge, O Lord, that you are sovereign over all things and that nothing can happen apart from you. In our grief and in our confusion, we come to you because today we truly have nowhere else to turn. Your Word tells us that it is vain to trust in horses and chariots for safety. We your people trust in the name of the Lord our God.
Ray Pritchard is Senior Pastor of Calvary Memorial Church in Oak Park, Ill. and author of several books, including "An Anchor for the Soul" and "In the Shadow of the Cross."

Larry Huch
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.
