National Day of Prayer

[visionshadows]

President Bush declared that today, Friday the 14th, was a National Day of Prayer. Because, as I could see while watching it, they are sticking to Christian based prayers and preachings, I wanted to offer up prayers of my own. I'm not especially religious, never have been. I am proud of my religion though and have turned to it in times of hardship. I'm asking that all of us add a prayer to this post in the religion of our choice, be it the religion we practice or not so that all religions are represented in this country today as we mourn and come together as one nation united together. And please, anyone from other countries too, feel free to add. We are a world united together right now. It doesn't even need to be prayers because I am aware of the large numbers of aethists in this country and the world. Offer up words that make you feel better. Just add something, song lyrics, prayers, words of inspiration, anything that has helped you.

Thanks ahead of time. :)

I've often told people that I don't know how to pray, but whenever I feel like I need to, I say the Lord's Prayer:

Our Father, who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven

Give us this day
Our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those
That trespass against us

Lead us not
into temptation
but deliver us from evil

For thine is the Kingdom
The power and the glory
forever and ever
Amen
