Prayer in Remembrance of 9/11

May all of us remember with love and compassion this day. May we grieve with those who still mourn, and share memories with those who cannot forget. May we draw strength from those who bravely responded, and gave their lives to save others. May we stand with strangers who became neighbors that day, and remember their generosity and hospitality.

Above all God may we remember your faithfulness and learn to trust in your unfailing love. Powerful God, our refuge and our strength, we turn to you for peace and security as we recall the 9/11 attack. We thank you for the bravery and the sacrifice of those who saved lives as firefighters, rescue crews, or people aboard United 93.

Comfort and strengthen the family and friends of those who died. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
