An appropriate day for prayer

[Chad]

Today is the annual National Day of Prayer when every citizen is asked to lift up our nation and our leaders to God. Almost as if it was the Lord's timing, today's day of prayer could not come at a more appropriate moment.

At the site of the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history, in New York City, the President of the United States will lay a wreath at a memorial in the footprint of the World Trade Center. He will meet with first responders and family members of those who lost their lives on 9/11. It is my hope that he will also offer a word of prayer for our nation, its citizens, and the brave men and women who risk their lives for us still today.

The moment of triumph that we all felt this week -- knowing that Osama bin Laden had been brought to justice by American Forces -- was a reminder of that tragic day almost ten years ago. It is also a reminder that we must remain vigilant, because the war against us for what we believe and what we stand for is ongoing.

The threat of radical Islam remains, and the ACLJ is committed to vigilance in this fight. One of the greatest weapons we have is prayer, and I am asking every member of the ACLJ to please take a moment to participate in today's National Day of Prayer and to pray for our leaders and our nation's heroes.

The rights that these heroes defend are ones that we ardently fight for every day and are central to the mission of the ACLJ. If you would like to learn more about our work in defense of the National Day of Prayer, please take a moment to read my latest article for BeliefNet here.

Jordan has also written an article for the Washington Post entitled: Can Christians Celebrate bin Laden's Death? It offers scripturally based reasons for how he answers that question. Please offer your comments on how you've personally felt regarding the fall of the most wanted terrorist in the world.

Again, thank you for your membership and participation in defending our rights, liberty, and way of life. Thank you, also, for your prayers today. May the Lord bless you and your family.

Sincerely,

Jay Sekulow
ACLJ Chief Counsel

I pray for all those families that have been hurt by this, first in the US and second in all other countries that Bin laden contributed to their death as well.

I pray for our leaders to be led by God and by the word and pray that God would protect this nation and transform it because He's a good loving God.

I pray for the world to hear the word and have a change of hearts, and accept Christ, I pray that attacks and wars against Christians would only make us stronger cause they'll never stop until the second coming of Jesus, and that by them, many people would come to Christ.
