I praise God that I may enter His throne room for His comfort and wisdom during this difficult time. I praise Him for His sovereignty over the good and bad events of our lives. With God, nothing is accidental, nothing is incidental, and no event is wasted. He holds in His power our breath of life and our destiny. Every tragedy He allows to happen is a platform on which He reveals Himself, showing His love and power to the world. I thank Him that I can move into the future nondefensively, with hands outstretched to whatever lies ahead, for He holds the future and will always be with me, even to my old age ... and through all eternity.

God is our refuge and our strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalm 46: 1-3

Carmen Pate is former president of Concerned Women for America (CWA), and a radio and television personality.

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."

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
