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. :)

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me.
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23
