Special Prayer Nudge

Where were you on Tuesday, September 11, 2001 at 8:49 AM (New York, EDT/UTC-04)? It was afternoon in Nairobi, Kenya, and I had just returned from work and was in our kitchen planning our evening meal. The first bit of news to interrupt our youngest child’s pre-homework TV break was without sound or any explanation – which meant we didn’t know the what, when or where of the scenes. Join me in praying today for peace, hope and comfort for families whose lives were changed ten years ago today. Pray for peace in our world - Peace that will happen if an event experienced this week by a friend occurs more often: "Got out of the car ready to shop and the first voice I heard had a message for my spouse: ‘Tell Mtumishi (Servant) to come tell us Neno (Word)!’" Join me in claiming God's Word for our world: "May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, THAT your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations … O God; may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth … THEN … God, our God … will bless us, and ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH will fear him." (Psalm 67:1)
