When tragedy strikes, there are few words. As we process the school shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin, our heart is to pray for all impacted, but especially the parents and mothers. Please pray with us.
A Prayer Specifically For Those Suffering From Loss
Lord Jesus, we pray for the mothers who are sitting on the edge of twin beds and sobbing uncontrollably.
Please sit beside them and gently stroke their hair.
We pray for the fathers who don’t recognize their own faces, so altered by grief, as they shave in the bathroom mirror.
Please place Your strong hands on their shoulders and strengthen them.
We pray for the sisters and brothers who shared toys and toothbrush holders with a much-loved sibling who’s now gone to live in heaven.
Please hold their hands tightly and keep nightmares at bay.
Lord, please cast the shadow of Your unfailing love over these families and may Your presence fill their hearts and every room in their homes.
In Jesus Name, amen.
