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

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

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.

I add my Amen to your prayer, Annie, and would like to also thank loophole for her addition.

May I also add something borrowed from the late Irish comedian, Dave Allen, "and may your God go with you", a sentiment I always appreciated and admired.

Amen, thank you, we need more of this. So good to have it out in the open. Always hesitant to share my faith in case of offending.... Prayer is so powerful and helped me through the most darkest times.
