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

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

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.
