today is so very solemn. i feel so heavy knowing the weight of the events that happened twenty years ago. i hate that some of my peers don’t fully understand how big this day is. i hate the evil that seemingly triumphed on september 11, 2001.
•
oh, but what i love. i love the closeness that came from it. i love the gratitude everyone felt in the aftermath for all of those serving. i love that this one day, twenty years later, can still bring a nation together that is seemingly so divided every other day.
•
my heart still feels so heavy, and the only way to combat such sorrow is to turn to a sovereign God. open the word today and see how the Father reveals Himself to you.
•
psalm three shows us some attributes of the Lord that can help us get through the weight and sorrow of today.
•
Father, you are our shield, our glory, the lifter of our heads. you answer our prayers according to your will, you sustain us, and you alone are our salvation. Lord, i ask that no matter what is going on in our hearts today, or what is going on around us that we turn to you. please turn our eyes to you and your truth. you sustain our every need according to your will. please remind us of who you are and why we are here, not just today, but everyday. amen.
