September 11th
Lord, I pray for our country and people as this september day passes by. Heal the deep wounds many have sustained in the wake of such disaster 5 years ago. But, may we never forget this day. Sear it into our hearts and minds for years to come. We will stand strong and firm, for the joy of the Lord is ours and the God we follow is a god of love and not fear, nor terror. Lord, hold our hearts this day. In Jesus' name we pray.
A prayer for the family and fans of the Crocodile Hunter (and for Connor)
Lord I just offer up comfort and your presence in the lives of Steve Irwin's family, and though we don't know them personally we know the pain Terri and the children, Bindi Sue and Bob, must be facing and the struggles they will be facing as they grieve and build a new life without him. I ask that you send your angels to stay near to them during this time. Lord, I ask that you comfort Connor and all the children who admired "The Crocodile Hunter." Show me how to help Connor deal with his dream jar that he saved for his trip to Austrailia hoping to meet the Crocodile Hunter in person. His dream is shattered and I ask for your guidance and comfort to help him as he hears the news and puts this death into perspective. In Jesus Christ, Amen.
