A prayer on 9/11



O Father, the evil that invaded our country that day 10 years ago was just pure satan.  Our country has been forever changed from that day forward.  Our country was attacked in such a brutal way and so many, many people died.  So many people were lost.  But so many heroes rose up, too, that day, and in all the battles since.  We are so thankful for the people who rushed inTO buildings that were on fire, for the men and women who are still to this day fighting for freedom and against evil all over the world.  But You, Father, know all about evil and satan and how he destroys.  But before 9/11, all those years ago, our Hero rose, saving us all.  And because of Jesus, this sad, tragic day that we remember with such sorrow is filled also with such HOPE and glory, in Jesus alone!  Thank You Father!!  Thank You Jesus!!!  We cry today and we REMEMBER, but we also think of You and the sacrifice You made for us, Your children, and we say thank you to YOU, too.  Protect our country, Lord, from attacks in the future, and please, please Lord protect our servicemen and women, with Your mighty hedge of protection.  I thank You, Lord Jesus, and it is in Your holy and precious and worthy name I pray, Amen.
