Good morning, Jesus.
May we never forget, Lord, what happened eighteen years ago today, how evil slapped America into reality. We witnessed how unrestrained hatred for all things good and right snuffed out the lives of nearly 3000 innocent people, whose only fault was just going about their daily routines. It’s not like we weren’t given any wakeup calls. The bombing Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, the destruction of the U S embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, the attack on the U S S Cole, all by Islamic terrorist. Yet we sluffed it off. Meh! Let’s just move on. In our false sense of security, we ignored these warning, since terror attacks happened in countries far away. Then September 11, 2001.
We called on you for mercy, Lord God. We filled the churches, prayed as never before. We waved our American flags, chanted U S A nonstop at all events . . . then we forgot. The pain subsided, and as a nation, we returned to our divided ways, arguing among ourselves over senseless things, fussing when we couldn’t have our way, griping how our government was the worst in the world. Again, we turned our backs on you, Lord God, and decided we no longer needed you—we could run our lives just fine again. And you let us have our way.
Big mistake! We need you more than ever, Lord Jesus. We need a spiritual renewal in our country, but first, it must begin in each of us. Forgive our sins. Change our hearts. Heal our nation. Raise up leaders who will govern with godly wisdom and integrity. Drive out the scoffers who oppose every effort made to bring you back into our society. Give people the courage to speak the truth in the face of lies about you, Lord God, and about our country and its founding. Bring confusion and chaos to those who wish to rewrite our country’s history with a false narrative, that their lying works will fail.
May we never forget the horrific events of 9/11 and those who stepped into eternity that day. Bless their families and friends. Bring peace and closure to their pain. Heal their memoires.
And may we never forget your sacrifice, Lord Jesus, to take our sins away and give eternal life to all who call on you in repentance.
Have mercy on us again, Lord Jesus. Amen
THANKFUL
