The 911 Prayer
Heavenly Father,
At times like this we don’t know what to say,
what to feel, what to do.
We cry, we stare, we burn with anger,
we cry some more.
When our lives, our nation,
seems to quiver and quake
as to what next to do,
we are drawn to you.
When we cannot stand ourselves
because the burden is too great,
we turn to you.
When the pain is too much to bear,
we turn to you.
When we have lost friends, family,
and faith in this world, we turn to you.
We turn to you, now, Oh God.
With tears in our eyes and a lump in our throat,
we turn to you.
Oh Lord, what do we do?
And you tell us, “Stand Up, for I am with you.
If you turn your face towards Me,
you will find Me facing you.
Stand Up for I am with you.
I will protect and comfort my own
through the pains of the day
and the cries of the night.
I will comfort the widow, the parent,
and especially the child.
I will give you a peace that passes
all human understanding
if you will turn towards Me.
You will rise, for My sake and for My Glory.
You will heal, for My sake and for My Glory.
You will have strength, for My sake and for My Glory.
Turn to Me, and I will make you whole.”
Heal us Lord, Heal us Lord, Heal us Lord.
Thank you Lord for your promises made and promises kept.
Amen.
