Heartbroken

 

 

 

 

Romans 12 verse 15:

...mourn with those who mourn.

 

Psalm 34 verse 18:

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

 

 

My heart goes out to  those families who have lost loved ones in the tragedy that has happened at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, USA.

I can not and do not want to imagine what those families are going through. Their pain and sadness must be unbearable.

I'm lifting the families up in prayer and will light a candle today, remembering those who have lost their lives.

 

Lord, Help the families who are mourning today feel and know your presence in their pain and sorrow.

Hold them close to you and comfort them in their grief.

Shine your light into the darkness.

Be with them Lord and surround them with your love and peace.

 

Also be with the people who have had to deal with the tragedy as it happened, the emergency services, the doctors and nurses. They have witnessed things they should never have had to see. Help them to recover from this ordeal, heal their hearts and minds. Give them your peace.

 

Amen.
