Psalms 16:1 - "Keep me, O God, for in You, I take refuge".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It happened 14 years ago. It was a series of four coordinated attacks on the United States. It did sent a chilling effect on all people all over the world. If this can happen in the most powerful country, then how about us? How safe are we? What can we do to prevent this?
Truly, there are too many questions and the answers are so few.
And events like this can really push us to seek God's refuge and protection. Yes, it is normal for everyone to feel fear, dread, horror and panic. But the Lord, Himself, has told us - "Do not be afraid... I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand".
Start with a prayer. Do it daily. Surrender all your fears and disappointments to Him. Admit that you are nothing without Him. Admit that you are powerless to save yourself, and only Him can deliver and save us from all the horrors that men can do to his fellow men.
Everyday is a battle for all of us. Everyday, we encounter temptations, evil, horrors, sufferings. But always remember that this battle is not ours, but of God. Only in Him can we fully attain peace of mind and joy in our hearts.
+ Let us pray: Almighty Father, we surrender all our fears to You. We are powerless without You. We seek Your refuge and protection so You may save us from evils and sufferings of this world. Protect us, O Lord and calm our heart, mind and spirit. For only You is our strength. Amen +
