9 years ago today a tragic event happened in our history. Let us remember to set aside time today to pray for our nation, for those who suffer still in the memory of this day, for those who serve over seas in wars that developed as a result of 9/11, for our leaders to make wise decisions, and for Muslims across the world who are enslaved to the lie of Islam. Let us pray to be peacemakers, leading people to Christ for the glory of God.
There is so much to pray for, every day. But, in memory of this day, let us turn back to prayer, for our God is great, and he has told us to come to him in prayer, asking for what we want. James says we have not because we ask not, and when we do ask, we ask with evil motives, seeking to spend what we get on ourselves. (James 4:1-10) Let us repent, turn to God, ask that our motives might be changed, and that we might pray to him and ask for what is good in his eyes. As we remember the tragedy that happened this day, let us not remember it like the world: as just a tragedy, as a reason for anger, resentment, and violence against those who would harm us. Let us remember it as Christians: in repentance, in humility, and in hope that God will redeem a fallen world for the sake of his glory.
Today, let us pray.
