A Call to Prayer ...from many religious leaders Please click the blue triangle to reach what each had to say. Billy Graham Sheila Walsh Craig Parshall 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. Rabbi Scott Sekulow Franklin Graham This is a time for all Americans to pray for the thousands of victims, their families, and loved ones that have been affected by the tragic events of today. These atrocities remind us how precious life is and how important it is to be spiritually ready to stand before and give account to Almighty God. My prayer is that the people of this nation will turn their eyes and hearts to the Lord and seek His wisdom and protection. May all Americans pray for our president and government leaders that God would guide and direct them as they lead our nation during these dark hours. Franklin Graham is president of Samaritan's Purse and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Carmen Pate 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. Woodrow Kroll Nancy Leigh DeMoss Luis Palau Where is God in all this? The crushing magnitude of this tragedy has sent this question across a broken and bleeding nation. Without sidestepping hard questions or slipping into pat answers, we've been suddenly called by God to offer comfort, solace, encouragement, and hope to those we know and love. We pray that God will provide His grace and mercy to all those whose lives and families have been devastated by these acts of terrorism.
