A Call to Prayer ...from many religious leaders Please click the blue triangle to reach what each had to say. Billy Graham 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. Craig Parshall Janet Parshall Rabbi Scott Sekulow Franklin Graham Carmen Pate Woodrow Kroll Nancy Leigh DeMoss Luis Palau Dr. James Dobson Ray Pritchard Cardinal Edward Egan Cardinal Edward Egan, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York, praised the city's fire fighters and police officers for rushing to help those in need. "I saw New York at its best," he said. "I saw police officers and fire fighters careless of their own safety, interested in only serving this great city, covered in soot. I saw many of them bleeding from the necks and arms. They're New York at its best." 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
