Reflecting on September 11th

Today in chapel we reflected on 9/11 and all those who suffer loss, tragedy, heartache and grief on this side of eternity in this fallen world . . .

Today you can freely download Philip Yancey's "The Question That Never Goes Away" to your Kindle. This is an excellent resource to help us wrestle with this question: "What was God doing in the moment when that tragedy could have been prevented?"

A Prayer for a Nation

“Lord God Almighty, you have made all the peoples of the earth for your glory, to serve you in freedom and in peace: Give to the people of our country a zeal for justice and the strength of forbearance, that we may use our liberty in accordance with your gracious will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 258)

A Prayer for Peace

“Almighty God, kindle, we pray, in every heart the true love of peace, and guide with your wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth, that in tranquility your dominion may increase until the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 258)
