Help Us, Lord

 

 Our hearts are broken around our state, throughout our country, as yet another shooter has taken the lives of our children.  The senseless acts of a young man with no sense of the value of life, with hate and murder in his heart. I’m thankful for prayer. I’m thankful for the Holy Spirit. I’m thankful these beautiful children are with Jesus. I’m thankful I heard the story of one of the 5th graders hiding in a pre-school room. She and her friend prayed the entire time and she felt a guardian angel with them.  We don’t know why. But God will, somehow, change lives through this evil act and He will offer comfort and He will grieve with those precious children and families. Please pray.

     If you are reading this, know you have been prayed for this morning. I love the fact that we are connected through the Holy Spirit. God tells us we are of one mind and of one spirit living as the body of Christ.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called. Ephesians 4:4

     Let’s continue to hold each other up, to pray for each other, to recognize the power living within us, to have confidence during these chaotic days, to trust Jesus above the highs and lows of life. He is the risen Lord. Be of one mind and be at peace. And keep praying for our country.

Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Philippians 2:2

Jesus,

Hold these families close, as we continue to grieve with them and pray for them. We belong to You. Let that be enough for us each day. Your grace is enough. We thank You for the connection between us. Keep us united in spirit and in peace and in prayer.

Amen
