O God, my loving Father, today I remember gratefully that You kept my family safe from the disaster of September 11, when more than 3,000 of my fellow citizens lost their lives in the tragedy of that day.
Mixed with my gratitude for keeping me and mine safe, I lift petitions to You on behalf of those who still mourn the loss of friends and family from that fateful day. Render healing and comfort to those who mourn this day. Teach us all to number our days, for Your sake and glory. In the strong and mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
