Where were you?

Just like the shuttle, or when JFK was shot, unfortunately most of us will always remember where we were and what we were doing when the towers fell.

I found this prayer for 9/11 and today I pray for all the families affected by the tragic events of a single day 9/11

God of the ages, before your eyes all empires rise and fall yet you are changeless. Be near us in this age of terror and in these moments of remembrance. Uphold those who work and watch and wait and weep and love. By your Spirit give rise in us to broad sympathy for all the peoples of your earth. Strengthen us to comfort those who mourn and work in large ways and small for those things that make for peace. Bless the people and leaders of this nation and all nations so that warfare, like slavery before it, may become only a historic memory. We pray in the strong name of the Prince of Peace. Amen.
