WORLD TRADE CENTER AND PENTAGON IN FLAMES.

This morning the World Trade Center was hit by 2 Aircraft at 8:45 est, and an hour later the Pentagon was attacked as well, reports say that a helicopter/airplane may have exploded at or on or near the building and it also is in flames.
Please remember the survivors and families of all victims.
******************************************
According to ABC news, the World trade Center has collapsed, to the ground.
At the very least, the top portions of both towers have collapsed.
There have also been unconfirmed reports that a large plane crashed at Camp david, and another plane crashed in the western section of Pensylvania.
This has indeed been a very bad day for the US.
I pray that none of this comes near our friends to the North.

Perhaps even now, it is begun?

Adventist World Leaders Call for Prayer as Terrorist Attacks Hit United States
September 11, 2001 Silver Spring, Maryland, USA .... [ANN Staff/ANN]

Employees at the Seventh-day Adventist world headquarters gathered this morning to pray for those impacted by the series of terrorist attacks that hit the United States eastern seaboard this morning, September 11.

“We have been brutally reminded of how fragile our lives are, and how fragile the structures that surround us are,” said Pastor Jan Paulsen, president of the world church. “At this point, with so many questions unanswered, we can only ask for the prayers of every believer around the world, prayers for those who are suffering, for those who have lost loved ones, and for those involved in the rescue efforts.”

“We need our Lord. We desperately need for our Lord to return,” said Paulsen. “He is the only secure future we have.”

Ted N.C. Wilson, a vice president of the world church, reminded employees that, “The Lord is our safety and our salvation.” Wilson called for a sense of calmness, saying, “We must pull together under the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Employees at the Adventist Church world headquarters have been offered the opportunity to leave work to be with family. Those remaining have been offered pastoral support in centers throughout the building, and have been encouraged to gather in departmental groups to pray.

“Please pray for leaders around the world who are making decisions, even as we speak,” said Paulsen. “They need God’s guidance in making the right decisions.”

Acknowledging that the work of the church may, in ways yet unknown, be impacted by the events of the day, leaders at the church headquarters have said that decisions will be made on an hour-by-hour, day-to-day basis, with “our trust placed firmly in the Lord.”

Leaders have been quick to assure church employees and church members around the world, however, that the Adventist Church world headquarters has not been affected. The headquarters is located in Silver Spring, Maryland, around 15 miles from downtown Washington, D.C., site of one of the terrorist attacks. [ANN Staff]

There is a topic about this situation in the Endtime Events Forum where we can contribute our thoughts on this tragic event. Let's remember this situation in prayer, and the many who are injured.

God is still working. The news has just said that there was a convention of surgeons in New York City and they are now lending their expertise to doing triage with the injured. It couldn't have been a co-incident with God that all those surgeons were there when most needed.

Jesus is the joy of living

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for those who were safely evacuated from the World Trade Center in New York city prior to the second hit on the second tower especially those who had evacuated the very same floors that the second jet crashed into as a result of the other tower being hit.

We ask You that you will help the rescuers find the survivors who are still caught within the rubble of the collapsed buildings.

Thank You for watching over them.

Also, please be with those suffering from the loss of their family and friends and loved ones as a result of all this tragedy, from those in the hijacked planes to those in the targeted buildings in both New York and Washington.

Thank you.

In Christ's name I pray,

Amen!!!

Heavenly father,
As the true horror comes through and home to us, we pray that You will send Your Spirit to guide us and our thoiughts, let not hate take over our hearts, and help us to pray not only for the survivors and the families that have not learned what and where their loved ones are.
Help us to not develope a spirit of vengeance, help us to keep our hearts in tune with You and Your will.

Give the families that are directly connected to this strength and helpas they wait for news.
Be with our leaders and help them not go off half cocked, prevent more deaths of innocent ones, let not our great country stoop to the level of these cowardly murders.
Thank You for those found alive, and by Your grace,may there be even more.
Draw those trapped in the rubble to You, and if they have not made their peace with You, may they do so before it is too late.
Thank You father,
In Jesus name,
Amen

Hevenly Father as your children we thank you everything you have given and done for us. We know that You are in control of this world and there is nothing that happens here that you are not aware of. I want to praise Your name for being thre for the comfort of all that are personally involved with this terrible thing.

I would ask Father that you will be with all those that are helping with this in whatever way they can, the firefighters, doctors, nurses,etc. Give them not only physical strenth to endure the long hours but also emotional and spiritual strength.

Father be with each and everyone of the ones that may still be alive under this mess. We have seen this morning that two firefighters have been brought out alive. This is such an encourgement for the ones searching for others that are still trapped.

Thank you Father for listening and answering our prayers in Jesus name Amen.

In The Blessed Hope
