Note: This is the prayer Charles wrote for our church family following the mass shooting today at our local supermarket.
Merciful God, tonight our community grieves with the senseless violence that took place this afternoon at the King Soopers in Table Mesa. We mourn with the families that are struggling tonight to understand, to come to terms with the loss of dreams, hopes, and promises. We struggle to make sense of a world where violence is such an easy option.
Send Your Spirit upon us this night that we would find rest in the sure blanket of Your love. Strengthen us in the days ahead that we might find our voices to speak comfort to those who have been injured, peace to those who are grieving, and love to the community that we call home. We ask these things in the name of the Risen Christ. Amen.
