| After the tragedy of the terrorist attack in America on Tuesday 11th September 2001 I felt led to make this page on my website in memory of those who sadly lost their lives needlessly and also for those who have lost their loved ones. I live in the United Kingdom and am not American but as most of the leaders of other countries have stated this terrorist act not only affects America but affects the freedom and democracy of all the countries in the whole world. I feel that it is important that we all stay united even through the heartbreak of what has happened. We must all keep our focus in God and not allow anger to take over our feelings at this time and seek retaliation. We have to let these terrorists know that no matter what they do they will never shatter our faith in God and that the world is united with America before God at this sad time and we will be looking upon Him to strengthen us through the Holy Spirit in order to help all of us to overcome the shock of this appalling situation. A number of people I have come to know on the internet have contributed to this tribute either with graphics, poetry , prayer, inspired thoughts or articles and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for all their contributions. I would ask you to respect any copyrights within this tribute and to either contact me or the original author of the article. Before you make your way through this tribute I would ask all of you to join with me in saying the National Prayer below which I found on the internet over the last days. |

| National Prayer Lord, we come to You on bended knee, heads bowed and our hearts filled to overflowing with so much grief for the many people who have been injured and killed in our National crisis. We ask you Lord, to give courage and strength to those who so bravely go to their aid. And though their hearts will be heavy and filled with sorrow we ask Lord that You give them the endurance needed to help them through this difficult task. Please give us the strength Lord, to get through each difficult and devastating day that faces each of us and our country. Protect and guide our Military that are now being called to duty. We ask Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in their hour of decision. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders during this crisis is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom you guide them gently to the right decisions. And lastly Lord, we ask that you allow us all to come together as a Nation, to stand tall and united, so that we might help each other in our hour of need. Amen May God Bless America! |
