Here are a few verses that I thought would be helpful as we think about 9/11.
Lawlessness and Wickedness Is Prophesied For These Days
Matt 24:12-14
Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
NIV
Put Your Fears into Perspective
Luke 12:4-6
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
NIV
Heb 10:31
It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
NIV
What to Do In These Last Days of Terror
1 Peter 4:7-11
The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore be earnest, thoughtful men of prayer.
8 Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love makes up for many of your faults.
9 Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay for the night.
10 God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings.

Comfort and Protection for Those Who Trust God
Psalms 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling — even the Lord, who is my refuge —
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
NIV
