Dear Friends:
As we awake this morning to horrific images from Las Vegas,
consider the following prayer:
Gracious God:
In this moment when our world seems full of violence,
fill us and others with your peace.
We pray for the victims of last night's shooting,
for their families, for their community and for our nation.
Be with those who grieve, and with those who now must
recover from injury of body, mind or spirit.
In these times when senseless violence fills the headlines,
remind us of the bountiful love that is shared between people
day by day, in moments ordinary and extraordinary.
May our hearts and minds not be shaped by fear,
but by our commitment to be your agents of love in this world,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Peace be with us all.
Mike Ward
