21 Killed in Mass Shooting

After Tuesday’s mass shooting of 19 children and two adults in an Uvalde, Texas, elementary school 54 miles from the Mexico border, let’s pray….

Lord, we ask You, please, for Your arms around the families grieving right now. Come so close to them that they hear Your voice comforting them and feel Your strong hands lifting them up to carry them through. In the sleeplessness of night, let them feel Your presence counting every tear, joining with them in both their sorrow and anger. Point the way out of their tunnel of grief into Your lighted path ahead. Renew their faith. Restore their strength. Carry them on Your Eagle wings and draw them to Yourself. Isaiah 40, Exodus 19:4. For those who don’t yet know You, bring Christians to them to love them through this hard time and share with them Your plan of salvation.

Father, heal the children who are physically or mentally wounded by this tragedy. Cast out every fear with Your infinite, perfect love. Meet them in the midst of every memory and show them You are with them. Show them what You are doing right now and how they can join with You in that, comforting their classmates, speaking forgiveness in the midst of anger and faith in the midst of fear. Be their Protector and Friend, their Strong Tower and Mighty Warrior. Fight for these children’s hearts, Lord. Set them free from PTSD or whatever other pit the enemy wanted to dig for them, and raise them up as evangelists and leaders, lovers of Christ will bring thousands to You because of what You are doing right now in their hearts and lives in the midst of this terrible tragedy. Take everything the enemy meant for evil and turn it around for great good. Bring Christian counselors to each child, teacher and family member to pray with them and help them to freedom from nightmares, panic and traumatic memories. Draw them up into Your arms and help them feel Your love in such powerful ways, they will surrender their lives to You and serve You with passion all the days of their lives. In Your name. Amen.
