Let us pray

Father God, our world seems in turmoil, sorrow, grief, anger, bitterness, hatred , shock, injury both physical and mental , innocents have died, many are suffering the dark night of the soul.

We pray for all who are suffering , for the firefighters who have to face scenes we cannot and do not want to imagine, hospital staff who are nursing and comforting the injured. For those who may have to be held responsible for this tragedy . For ourselves who are witnessing this suffering.

We ask in the name of your son, our Lord for healing for all who suffer and may they know the peace which passeth all understanding.

Amen

Lovely words Anniebach, but some of us will change the word prayer to 'hope'....and still be thankful for the wonderful heros of recent tradgedies. But your God will give many folk comfort.

Just what I was thinking too, Grandmama, about the lack of animosity. Thank you, Anniebach, your words are lovely, and what a kind thought to let us share them. flowers

Grandmama Mon 19-Jun-17 18:23:57

Amen too. And how lovely to have a post that has not given rise to any animosity. Thank you Annie.

Amen and thank you Annie. It is compassionate of you to pray.
I feel that prayers and religion can be marginalised or the source of ridicule in so many situations. Thank you for your bravery!

That's 'also' not Alps - autocorrect strikes again!

Emmsabella Mon 19-Jun-17 14:06:42

I am Alps joining you in prayer. After all God promises to heal our nation if we humble ourselves to pray - and only he has the power to do that. I'm also praying for wisdom for those in government to respond with compassion as well as a show of strength and yes for those brave men and women in the emergency services and the communities which come together in love to help.
