"Since we met last year, millions of Americans
have been led to prayer. They have prayed for comfort in time of
grief; for understanding in a time of anger; for protection in a
time of uncertainty. Many, including me, have been on bended knee.
The prayers of this nation are a part of the good that has come
from the evil of September the 11th, more good than we could have
ever predicted.
In this time of testing for our nation, my family
and I have been blessed by the prayers of countless of Americans.
We have felt their sustaining power and we're incredibly grateful.
Tremendous challenges await this nation, and there will be hardships
ahead. Faith will not make our path easy, but it will give us strength
for the journey."
President George W. Bush, National Prayer Breakfast,
February 7, 2002
