Christians in
Palestine
Our previous minister Ian had contacts among the Palestinian Christians of
Bethlehem, and received from our brothers in Christ in
Bethlehem the following prayer.
A Palestinian Christian prayer for the victims of the terrorist attack on
America
Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 07:21:31 -0700
(PDT)
Prayer of 9/11/01
Come, Oh God, into our worried and
consternated lives.
Come this hour as we gather in confusion and emotions
un-described.
Come, Oh God, and bring your blessing upon us as a
people and nation.
Come, and bring you healing to families in shock and
dismay.
Come, with you wings spread and gather your children
of New York, Washington D.C.,
and Pennsylvania, and from throughout this nation as
a hen gathers her chicks under her
wings.
Come and comfort our cries and anguish.
Come like the eagle which soars down and scoops up
its young who have fallen from the
nest and raise America up on seraphim wings.
And as you come unto your children, call us unto you.
Call us to place you into our heart of reconciliation.
Call us to reach into the depths of our wounded soul
and find your love that strengthens
our resolve and gives us your gift of wisdom.
Call us this hour that our ears be opened unto Thee.
Call us from the mountain of catastrophic woe and from
the plain of hate filled morning.
Call us to respond to the evil thrusted upon us with
immediacy and tenacity yet with the
salve of Jesus walking through Samaria.
Call each of us to know your will for all of us.
Call upon us now we pray, in the name of the host and
blessed redeemer.
Amen.
