MANY PEOPLE CAN remember exactly where they were when they first heard about the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001. In the days following the terrorist attacks, the United States became united. American flags flew high, and people gave their time, money, and even blood to help those in need. Prayer was common in churches, offices, and schools.

During that time, many people turned to God for comfort and care. Churches overflowed as people sought God in their moment of need. Psalm 46:1 says, “God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him” (Message). God was a shelter to many people in those days. He was right there when they called on Him.

Is God your shelter? Could you run to Him for comfort and care during a trial in your life? If not, we invite you to pray the following prayer to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

God, I need help with my life. I’m tired of trying to do it on my own. Please help me. The Bible says, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (New International Version). I say out loud that Jesus is my Lord, and I believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead. You said that if I would do that, I would be saved. So I take You at Your word. Thank You for saving me! I ask you to be my safe hiding place.
