May we come together to pray for the victims of the Santa Fe High School shooting

Reports are just coming in.  We know nothing of the details.  Sadly we know that eight so far have died.  There are others who were wounded.  The suspect, according to the news, is in custody.  There is nothing more, so there is nothing to propose.

There is only to pray for those killed and the horror that their loved ones will endure.  We may pray that we, as a nation, come together to fix what has gone horribly wrong in our society that such terrible crimes are becoming far too common.  We may pray for unity of purpose, and a desire to look into ourselves and see where we all might change for the common good.

But at this time, lifting up the victims, their loved ones, and all whose lives will be forever changed is the Christian, if not the human, is our main priority.

God bless and keep those who have been struck by such evil.  Give them peace, strength and an assurance of your grace and sovereignty in the weeks and months to come.  It is beyond our knowledge how, but we pray you can bring good out of even the worst of all darkness and death.  Into your hands, we present this prayer. 

Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  Amen.
