A Prayer for our Nation
Offered by Dr. Art Mirek on September 11, 2001

Our Heavenly Father, the terrorist attack on America reminds us that any security we have as individuals and as a nation comes only from the abiding hope and trust we have in You. Once again we are cut to the heart at the loss of life and damage to peace that we have suffered as a nation.

Today we come to You and we seek Your peace for the families and victims of the horrible tragedy. For those still lost in the rubble of destruction, we ask for the safety of Your hand. For those consumed by worry and fear as they try to locate missing loved ones, we ask for the comforting presence of Your Spirit.

We seek Your peace for the emergency workers-that You would guard their lives as they seek to guard the lives of others. Give them the wisdom they need to perform their duties above and beyond the levels of their training.

We seek Your peace for our nation and our world. In the midst of our questions and uncertainty, we recognize that the unknown details of this day are already in your grasp. We know You sent Your Son as the Prince of Peace and even this day falls under His command. Help us to find the strength and comfort we need as a nation to continue to humble ourselves, pray and seek Your face for a new day in America and a new hope for our world.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.
