     "So I say to you,
     Ask and it will be given to you;                               "Pray without ceasing."             
     Seek and you will find;                                                
1 Thessalonians 5:17
     Knock and it will be opened to you." 
                              
Luke 11:9
Pray for peace!

"First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the world. For God, whom I serve with my spirit by announcing the gospel of his Son, is my witness that without ceasing I remember you always in my prayers..."    Romans 1:8-9

Dear Heavenly Father, we are moved by the alarming news and tragedies that our country has faced in recent years. Please have mercy on those suffering, hurting and in fear, and give wisdom & strength to those who are assisting.  May the forces of evil be broken by your power and may we humble before thee, our strength and refuge.   Give wisdom our President & our leaders, and bring your comforting peace through the power of your Holy Spirit. Help us here to reach to those that have been affected by this tragedy.   In the name of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.   AMEN
