09/11/09: Approaching God in Prayer

September 11th is a date we all recognize, and it is a time to remember the victims, their families, and those who died protecting them during the Twin Towers bombing. As Natalia Derstine '11 opened in prayer today, she reminded us of today's importance, and also the powerful meaning of prayer.

"Lord, listen to your children praying.
Lord, send your spirit in this place.
Lord, listen to your children praying.
Send us love, send us power, send us grace."

"The promise of prayer is a heart that matches His."

Leah Moore '10 spoke on our purpose in prayer, and how we should approach God. I believe that God appreciates our honesty more than anything else, and that we should "tell God how it is." Finally, after a time of guided prayer, the Lord's Prayer was read together as a school.
