  Speaker 2: A shelter in the storm.

  Speaker 1: Psalms forty six and one says God is our refuge
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and strength of very present help in trouble. September eleventh
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: is etched in our nation's memory as a day of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: unimaginable loss and grief, and darkness and fear. We remember
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the lives cut short, the families forever changed, the images
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: etched in our minds, the first responders who rush toward danger,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and the deep pain that swept across the world. Yet
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: even as we reflect on the weight of that day,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we also remember something else.

  Speaker 1: Let fear take route, to look at the brokenness of

  Speaker 1: the world and feel unsafe or unprotected. But Scripture reminds
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: us that though evil may ral, it will never have
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a final word. Our God is a shield, a strong tower,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and a faithful protector. He is near to the broken hearted,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and mighty to save. The same God who carried us
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: through the shock and the sorrow of September eleventh, two
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: thousand and one is the same God who carries us today.
• 1:28

• 1:32
  Speaker 1: about looking up to trust. We honor those we lost,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: we pray for those who still carry grief, and we
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: recommit ourselves to living with faith instead of fear. We
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: don't deny the reality of evil, but we declare the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: greater reality of God's goodness.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: We can move forward.
• 1:51
