An act of terror has occurred,
A senseless act of hate.
But it has only made us stronger
America - The Great.


So many people lost their lives.
And for this, we all will grieve.
Firefighters search day and night.
They refuse to leave.


I wish that I could do something,
To help and ease the pain.
I wish that I could be there,
Working in the rain.


Recovery will continue.
The process will be long.
But make no mistake about it-
America is strong!!


We all have come together,
So strong, and brave, and true.
That is what our flag stands for.
The red, the white, the blue.


To the people that have done this,
We will not let you win.
You cannot shake the faith in us!!
We are AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Note:
The Nations Rage, the kingdoms totter; He utters His voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Psalm 46:6-7

Dear Child,

Do you ever watch the news? If you do, you know what an uproar the world is in most of the time. There are wars scattered all across the globe. People are killing each other for every kind of reason, most of them motivated by greed and a hunger for power. Families are being uprooted and separated. Innocent children are suffering. How I long to be a refuge to those people who will cry out to Me! But lots of them don't even know I exist.

I need you to help Me bring My truth into this world at war. I need you to speak with My voice so that people will know how close I am and how much I care in the middle of every kind of conflict, I am waiting for a chance to shelter My people.

The Lord of Hosts,
God
