Dear Lord, we know today is a difficult day for the families of victims, but help them go on living for truth, firm in the hope of your salvation.
Continue to heal those who were crushed and broken on that day.
Take the comfort and strength you've poured into their lives, Lord, and use it to comfort and strengthen others who need hope.
Thank you for the heroes that gave so sacrificially on September 11. Help me to remember their courage and learn from them.
