NZ Christian Network was invited to send a special 9/11 prayer to be included in the commemoration events held in America.

New Zealanders were shocked when we woke up and saw the events of 9/11 unfolding on our screens. We joined in prayer and grief with all of the families and friends of people injured or killed on that day.

We joined in anger at the senseless destruction to life and property caused by that attack.

Many now see the world as much less safe than we used to. Our sense of security has been shaken.

Let us pray that God will work in this situation to draw people back to a proper relationship with Himself.

May he give people in New York and elsewhere around the world, that abiding hope which is found in Jesus Christ.
Since that day, our screens have shown us hundreds perhaps thousands of similar attacks on people in other countries.

People of various religions have died.  More senseless destruction to life and property.

Terrorism affects people of every race and creed.

We pray for the people in New York and for people everywhere who have been and are still being affected by terrorism.

We pray that the love and mercy and comfort which God offers to each of us would be evident even as we work for justice and security in our troubled world.

Let us pray with the Psalmist “Even though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death I will fear no evil, for You are with me”.

Amen
