Let us focus our eyes on our Lord, and be sensitive to His Spirit as He leads us in prayer

How sad.
We have cut the news off. Just can't take anymore of the stories. Those poor kids...the frightened parents. It's awful.

All we can do is to pray that God wraps his arms around them giving them the comfort and strength to get through this.

I know you join me in praying for them too.

"God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble.
And so we need not fear even if the world blows up, and the mountains crumble into the sea.
Let the oceans roar and foam; let the mountains tremble!
There is as river of joy flowing through the City of our God - the sacred home of the God above all gods.
God himself is living in that City; therefore it stands unmoved despite the turmoil everywhere.
He will not delay his help. The nations rant and rave in anger - but whenGod speaks, the earth melts in submission and kingdoms totter into ruin.
The commander of the armies of heaven is here among us.
He, the God of Jacob, has come to rescue us.
Come, see the glorious things that our God does, how he brings ruin upon the world, and causes wars to end throughout the earth, breaking and burning every weapon.
Stand silent! Know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation in the world!"
Psalm 46

It is very sad and I feel so sorry for the families of the victims and the family of the killer. God is the only One who can give comfort to them.
