"Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord."  Psalm 31: 24.

It has been six years since the attack by terrorists on our Nation.  Many people no longer feel secure in their homes across this land as they remember the events which shattered hearts and took so many lives on this day.  Those who are gone are not forgotten, but are remembered, as they remain in the hearts and memory of those left behind.  Even those who did not know the men and women, who lost their lives, mourned as they watched the towers crumble and fall, in the attack on the Pentagon and heard about the crash of United Airlines Flight 93, in Pennsylvania.

Today, we remember the loss and the lives which were taken at the hands of those out to destroy America's peace of mind and weaken our Nation with their evil attack on that day.  May those who lost loved ones find comfort and continued peace in the Lord.

We will never forget the rescue workers who helped in this time of disaster and their every effort of help, as well as those who lost their lives as heroes, while trying to help.  We also remember the heroes on the flight and all those who helped rescue or save the lives of others.

America is not defeated.  She still stands strong as people call upon the Lord. Fear was one goal of those responsible for the attack, but we know our God has not given us a spirit of fear.  We look to Him who can keep us in perfect peace.  We must look to the future, as we remember the past, and stand firm on God's truths.  Only the truths of God can see us through tough times when terror, turmoil, trouble, or tears are present in a Nation.

This wake up call to pray brought together those of every race and color to join together, hand in hand, in prayer.  What America or any Country needs most, is prayer.  We are told if God's people will only humble themselves and seek God's face in prayer, repent of sins, and turn from their wicked ways, He will hear from heaven, forgive and heal this land. God has blessed us abundantly and it is time for his people to bless him. It is time for men to turn their hearts to heaven.  God still hears our prayers and desires a Nation whose God is the Lord.

What will tomorrow bring?  Only God knows, but in Him, we will trust. Our hope is in the Lord and we will remain strong, if we look to God and follow after his ways.  Jesus is truly our hope, as we stand for his truths. It is only "by his Spirit" that we can be a people pleasing to Him as we seek to be more like Christ each new day.

We remember this day which changed our Nation forever, but have a vision of a better day and restoration, as this county looks to God, and marches forward in faith.  One day all trouble and sorrow will cease and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.  Until that day, may we not grow weary in well doing, as we go forward in faith and hope in Him. "IF" is a condition of God's blessings which we cannot afford to overlook.  "Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord."

Regardless of the circumstances or events that may occur, Jesus is still Lord of all!

Blessings in Christ,
In Memory of 9/11/01
