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.
Janet Parshall is host of the radio program Janet Parshall's America.

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."
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."

Commissioner Joe Noland
The Salvation Army’s emergency food and aid vehicles and personnel have been on-site at the World Trade Center area since 10:30 a.m. ET (Tuesday) morning assisting victims and emergency personnel. Additionally, mobile emergency centers are at the plane crash site in Somerset County, Penn., and every Salvation Army emergency canteen, along with hundreds of counselors and social workers throughout the northeastern United States and Canada, are on call to serve victims, families, friends, and rescue workers 24 hours a day.
Our hearts are broken for the victims of today's tragedies, their families, and for America. Though The Salvation Army is on site providing assistance to our friends and neighbors who are the victims of this tragic event, our deepest desire would be that all Americans do what we have always done in times of national tragedy—hold fast to our faith and pray for our president and all our nation's leaders.
Throughout our history, America has remained strong because we have relied upon our faith in God, who is our deepest and surest help in times of trouble.
Commissioner Joe Noland is territorial commander, The Salvation Army, Eastern United States |
