As many of us pause to remember the events of 9/11, let us turn to God and also remember:

"God is our refuge and strength,
    a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,
    though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam,
    though the mountains tremble with its tumult."
Psalm 46:1-3
