A Prayer for those at Virginia Tech

Father God,

Please comfort those affected by this tragedy. Lord, put your healing arms around every parent, wife, child, sister and brother of those that were taken from this earth. Be their Comforter Heavenly Father, as only You can. Help those that are left to deal with the aftermath of this horrendous event to find Your love and peace, as they heal only with time from the unthinkable pain they suffer. Lord, I pray the souls that were taken from this earth will find their eternal home with You in heaven. May those that don't know You, seek You in this difficult time as they search for purpose and meaning to our existence. May they find Your love and mercy and grace are sufficient to meet all their needs, exceedingly and abundantly. Lord, help to heal this great nation as we all endure this tragedy together, directly or indirectly. For we know that our sisters and brothers in Christ were taken violently, but our trust is in You Father God and You alone. You are all we ever need to get through the bad things, the good things, and just our everyday lives.

In Jesus Holy Name......AMEN.
