My nation was attacked on September 11, 2001.

Lord, I cannot let this stand.

I must do something to protect my nation and myself.

By Your Grace, we, as a people, unite with You now.

We stand in that place where there is no space and no time but only energy.

In this place we say to all who would hurt us:

NO.

We refuse to be victims.

We withdraw all permission and energy that allowed you to attack us.

We see your earthly plans DISSOLVE into the nothingness from which they came.

You are rendered harmless as your minds grow confused, your plans go awry, your convictions dissolve and you feel the horror of both what you have done and what you were about to do.

And we REFUSE to hate you back.

As Christ forgave those who crucified Him, we forgive you.

Because we realize you do not know what you do.

But your misguided activities stop HERE and stop NOW.

And so it is.

And Lord, for my part, I choose now, in this moment, to accept the truth: attack breeds attack.

And revenge breeds revenge. I admit I have been part of this cycle.

My weapons of war have been thoughts and words.

For I have uttered unkind words. I have held resentments. I have felt fear, hostility and hate.

And I have cursed others.

Dissolve the effects of these actions, Lord.

Neutralize every hateful thought in which I attacked any one in any way.

Undo every resentment, every jealousy and every wish for ill that I have ever held against anyone for any reason, no matter how slight.

For You have the power to do this.

Take it all back, Lord. Now. Undo my contribution.

And guide me in making personal amends.

I affirm that You guide me so well in loving myself, that I am empty of hate.

For I refuse to be part of this cycle any longer.

I am impeccable in my quest for peace

And in my determination to treat others kindly in my mind.

And so it is by Your Grace, Heavenly Father.

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

I am forgiven and I forgive.

The world is blessed with a miracle of healing that arises out of these ashes.

And so it is. Amen.
