It has been seventeen years since the terrorist attacks in American carried our by Muslim terrorist that took down the World Trade Center Towers, hit the Pentagon, and Flight 93 which crashed in Pennsylvania after heroic passengers fought back. The years have flown by, but the memories and pain are still fresh in the minds of every American that was alive at that time. It almost seems like yesterday to me and I was no where near where those events took place. I can't imagine the pain and scars on the hearts of those who where there and survived.
Jesus told us that in this world we will indeed have troubles and we have all seen troubles occur in our world and even in our own lives. Sometimes we forget that we live in a fallen sinful world that is passing away. We forget the totally depravity that exists in the heart of every human being on the planet and how the devil can influence those of this world.
The Lord Jesus has overcome this world. He went to the Cross taking our sins upon Himself. We have all sinned and we have all fallen short of God's Glory. There is no one that does good. The human heart is deceitful because of the sin nature that each one of us has. We need to be born again. That is only possible by coming to the Lord Jesus Christ and making Him our Lord and Savior. Then the Holy Spirit comes to indwell us making us a new creation in Christ Jesus.
When we face troubling times we must turn our eyes upon the Lord Jesus and remind ourselves this world is not our home. We believers in Jesus Christ have a home in Heaven where we will be when the Lord Jesus comes to take us to be with Him forever.
Lord,
I pray for Men and Women in Law Enforcement.
I uplift Emergency Service people and those in the Military.
I pray for those affected by 9-11 and those who lost loved ones in the attack.
Help us never to forget what took place, but help us even more to never forget that You are our helper and our Redeemer and our Hope is firmly in You Lord Jesus.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
