Like so many my heart was broken by the tragic and violent loss of life in Uvalde made even more horrific by the loss of so many young children. My hope is that rather than creating a deeper divide on what solutions can be pursued we will instead unite to work together toward solutions that can make a real difference that other parents don’t have to endure such horrific loss and grief. Amid this, some have diminished the role of prayer. I would like to lift up the power of prayer as a source of comfort and strength to parents and loved ones struggling with loss, as a source of strength to first responders and caregivers, as a source that truly can unite us, and as a way of listening to the Almighty for guidance and encouragement. Whatever else we do, we should all shed tears and pray in whatever way seems best, and perhaps light a candle in the nighttime of our grief, remembering, honoring, hoping, praying . . .
May the peace that transcends all understanding guard your hearts and minds . . . (Philippians 4:6)
Lord, we lift all those who have lost loved ones through violence and pray that your peace and love that transcend all understanding would lift their hearts on eagle’s wings to see above the storm and to provide the comfort that only you can provide. May all of us unite to work toward solutions that can make a difference in our world and working toward peace and justice and understanding. Amen.
