Good morning, God,
The headlines this week have been and will be about this weekend coming up. It is the tenth-year anniversary of the attack on our country and our way of life by the Al Qaeda regime.
Human emotions such as jealousy, anger, and rage went into the hijacking of the airplanes and the targeting of our buildings and people in them. However, Lord, a firm belief in their religion also went into what these relatively few people did. Since then, many more of "them" and "us" have died.
Lord God, over the centuries, many actions have been done in the name of one particular religion or another. And, we need to ask for forgiveness for actions in all of them.
But one thing we who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord know is, if we were to love one another as you have loved us by giving us your own Son for our faults, we and our neighbors would get along better, and this world would be a much better place. Let us prayerfully consider this, especially this week, Lord.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
