Praying the Psalms

 

​

With the Lord on my side I do not fear. What can mortals do to me?

Psalm 118:6

​

Lord God,

We ask protection over our children and teachers in a world gone mad

with school shootings and threats of more shootings.

Strengthen our teachers and children in your love and grace.

 Let them live free from fear as they seek to teach and be taught.

May their trust be in you

knowing that though mortal beings can take physical lives

when we live in you, we shall not fear for we live eternally in your presence.

Comfort the families of those who have lost loved ones to violence.

And help us change the ways of this world by bringing you Word to our children

and to those who do not know you.

We pray for those with mental instability who seek to cause harm.

May they receive the help they need to confront such ungodly thoughts that lead to violence.

Help us O Lord!

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior,

Amen.
