A Prayer on 9/11

Lord, today we remember...
We remember the events of the past on 9/11
We remember the heartache, the pain, the loss
Many still feel the sting of death and separation rooted in that day

Lord, today we remember…
We remember the events that broke your perfect world
We remember the heartache, the pain, the loss
We all still feel the sting of death and separation rooted in that day

Lord today we remember…
We remember what you did in the past to heal our world
We remember his heartache, his pain, his loss
As your Son felt the sting of death and separation from you

Lord today we remember…
We remember that Christ rose to defeat all the evil in this world
That your Son, Jesus takes all our heartache, pain, and loss
And that everything that ever needed to be done has been done in Christ

Lord, we are grateful that you remember…
You remember our sins no longer
You remember us in the midst of the heartache, the pain, the loss
On this day, remind us that we are forgiven and free and that Jesus came for days like today
