Let Us Pray

In the wake of the horrific elementary school shooting in Texas we are filled with pain, sorrow and anger. We are angry and overwhelmed by the violence and evil in this world.

When our hearts are breaking, we cling to God. We cry out to Him to comfort all who are grieving. We beseech Him to change hearts and minds - to abhor violence instead of causing it.

This is a broken, hurting world, so we pray:

Gracious God, the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, has ripped our hearts and torn our souls. We are walking through the valley of the shadow of death. In the depths of pain and anger, we come before you, O God, our rock and refuge. You are our only comfort. You are our only hope. Merciful God, you know the depth of our suffering. We have only begun to mourn those we have lost. Amen. - by Pastor Fritz Fowler
