Tragedy is all around me.
In so many ways I hurt inside.
I see the damage...
Yet I refuse to believe the lies.
Our God is in control.
That is something that the adversary can not disguise.
I pray for those in pain.
For our enemies, I vow not to meet them below.
Nor will I hate them, that would be a shame.

As the same I pray for mercy for all.
No matter who or what may fall. 
Our God always lives.
I pray that I remain to be, always His.

(in memory of 9/11)
