                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Faithful Father, on this day of remembrance of the infamous terrorist 
attack on our Nation one month ago, we hear the words of the Psalmist 
sounding in our souls, ``Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He 
shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!''--Psalm 27:14. 
You alone are the source of our strength and courage. Continue to heal 
the aching hearts of those who lost loved ones and friends at the World 
Trade Center and the Pentagon.
  Dear Lord of comfort, we intercede for the families of the police and 
firefighters who died seeking to save others. We feel the incredible 
grief of those who endure loneliness now for those gallant people who 
were aboard the airplanes that were turned into missiles of 
destruction. All across our Nation people are gripped by fear of future 
attacks. Replace that panic with Your peace. Bolster our broken hearts 
with relentless resolve to confront and conquer terrorism. Bless the 
women and men of our armed services. Keep them safe as they press on to 
victory. Without Your help we cannot succeed; with Your power we shall 
not fail. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
