(NAPSA)—As a woman watched the World Trade Center collapse from the nearby Federal Building on September 11, she remembered a prayer called the “Prayer for Protection.” She recited it as she hurried down 38 flights of stairs and climbed aboard a subway train with others trying to get away from GroundZero. “It was my strength and comfort,” she said. This simple and eloquent prayer was written by a Silent Unity worker to give hope and encouragement during the darkest days of World WarII: The light of God surrounds me; The love of God enfolds me; The power of God protects me; The presence of God watches over me. Wherever Iam, Godis! Silent Unity answers more than two million letters and telephone calls for prayer support each year. During these uncertain times, many of these requests are for world peace and healing for those affected by the September 11 events. In response to world events, Unity began an outreach called Rebuilding on Faith. It is Unity’s ongoing spiritual support for all who seek healing, comfort, and peace following September 11, 2001. This outreach offers personal prayer, uplifting materials, and other resources to help meet the emotional and spiritual needs of people everywhere. Because Silent Unity believes there is great power in united prayer, one of the first actions undertaken has been to urge people everywhere to hold a thought for peace for our world at 11 a.m. REBUILDING “PALFTA Unity receives many prayer requests for world peace. and again at 9 p.m. (CT). Every day at those times—through September 11, 2002—Silent Unity is affirming the following prayer: “Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with God’s love in myheart.” Silent Unity believes now more than ever the world needs prayers. You can join thousands of people in every corner of the globe as they pause for peace each day.
