Agape Love Blog – Thursday, September 11, 2025 God Is Our Refuge

Good morning, beloved!

On this solemn day of remembrance, we pause to reflect on September 11, 2001—a day marked by tragedy, loss, and pain, but also by courage, unity, and faith. Today we honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who stepped forward in love and sacrifice.

In times of sorrow and fear, we cling to the truth that God is our refuge and strength, always present in our times of trouble.

Thursday Reflection: Refuge in the Storm

Today reminds us that life can change in an instant. But even when tragedy strikes, we are never without hope. God is our refuge—a safe place when the world feels unsafe. He is the steady anchor when storms rage around us.

Fear may shake us, but faith sustains us.

Thursday Prayer:Lord, we remember the lives lost on September 11 and lift up their families. Bring comfort to all who grieve and healing to our nation. Remind us that You are our refuge and strength, always present in trouble. Help us to honor this day not only with remembrance but with love and service. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Today’s Challenge:Do one intentional act of kindness today in memory of those who were lost. Let love be your response to tragedy.

May today be filled with peace, remembrance, and renewed trust in the God who never leaves us.
