I want to thank Matt, Dale and Wayne for the way they handled the service last week and for their words and perspective. (A summary of their statements is on this site. I encourage you to read it.)
As we think again today about the horrific tragedy in New York, I want to encourage you to continue to pray for our country. We should be praying:
- for all of those who are in authority in government—1 Timothy 2:1-4
- particularly for our President
- for the victims’ families
- for Congress
- for the Cabinet
- for our law enforcement officials and officers everywhere in our nation
- for our military forces
- for those who fly and manage our airplanes—all of our transportation systems
- for the firemen and policemen of New York City
- and for all the children and adults everywhere who are still traumatized, fearful and in a great quandary because of the events of September 11th (How ironic it was a 911 call for America.)
