Shades of Grace : A United Methodist Congregation

09/11/2026

On this 25th anniversary of the attacks on 9/11, we share this prayer from Discipleship Ministries:

"On this day of solemn remembrance:
May we honor the lives that were lost in this tragic act.
May we give thanks for those who served and saved, rendered aid and assistance.
May we give comfort to those who live with loss.
May we seek justice and peace where it is within our ability,
and rely on you when the ability escapes us.

"On this day of solemn remembrance:
May we build what has been torn down.
May we mend what has been broken.
May live Your love when hate seems to reign.
May we bear witness to the cause of peace. Amen."

Michael Card and John Thompson wrote "El Shaddai" in 1981. The song (number 123 in The United Methodist Hymnal) utilizes lyrics in the Hebrew language, adding to the timeless aspect of God's name--as these words have existed for thousands of years.

"El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
El Elyon na Adonai;
age to age you're still the same
by the power of your name." 🎶

What reminds you of God's timelessness? Are there others songs which inspire a sense of awe about God's being?
