Verse of the day
Depart from evil, and do good; so you shall abide forever.
Psalm 37:27
Voice of the day
Romans 12:21 exhorts us that rather than being overcome by evil, we should overcome evil with good. My hope and prayer is that we accomplish this not through force of arms, but by building a better world.
Prayer of the day
God of all people, / teach us to be patriotic, but humbly so. / Teach us to see the frailty, beauty, and value of life / in light of this tragedy / rather than using it to elevate / trivial difference to the heights of / divisive reasons for hatred.
Mark Sandlin, “A Prayer for the Anniversary of 9/11”
