September 11th prayer!

Good morning everyone! Today marks the 7th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. As I woke up this morning I was thinking about what to write today. Today there will be lots of people that remember this day 7 years ago was one of the worst days of there lives! Many lost Fathers, Moms, Children, Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, and Uncles as well as close friends. So I want to say thanks to all who helped that dark September morning! Thanks to all of the Fireman, Policeman, and Citizens that risked there lives to help rescue people and Thank you to the ones who lost there lives you are forever remembered! One verse in scripture that fits what happened on September 11th is this one John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” You notice Jesus did not say you might have trouble he said you will have trouble! I remember the week of September 11th like no other week; you could not find a seat in church. People turned to God when that happened and many said why would God let that happen why? God why? I can’t answer this question but I can tell you this, our country has turned our back on God. This country was founded on values and respect and frankly we have lost both! We live in a country that says killing Gods creation is ok. Abortion is murder it’s not ok! We live in a country that has the highest divorce rate than any other country! We live in a country that allows homosexual marriage and that’s not how God intended it! God did not create Adam and Steve, he created Adam and Eve! I am proud of our country on some things but these I am not! We have people starving on our streets and homeless everywhere. Yet we will not help them! We have the best medical facilities and doctors in the world yet no one can afford it! Our county is no longer built on values and God it’s built on GREED! With that being said I pray that our country turns back to God and not away from him! “Father in Heaven I pray for mercy to fall over this country. We don’t deserve it. We have turned our back to you and give you the middle finger! But God we need you now more than ever. I pray for the sins we as a country have committed and Jesus I ask for forgiveness! Help this Nation! I pray that the Church in America wake up and reach out like never before! I pray for our troops that are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and all the others serving our country. Father protect them and guide them! Jesus we need the grace and mercy only you can provide! Please forgive us in Jesus name I pray amen!” Have a great day and do not be PASSIVE today! With LOVE Jason
