For the Victims of the Clackamas Town Center Shooting
Dear Lord, we pray for all who were at the Clackamas Town Center this afternoon.
What a horrific situation! Having been married to a man who worked in malls for over eleven years, I am deeply grieved for the families and friends of the shooting victims. No one thinks when they go to work or make a quick trip to the store that it will be the last thing they do...
We lit a candle for peace this week, Lord. We pray for mercy and peace.
Comfort the grieving. Hold the shocked close to Your heart. And show us, Lord, how we can help, and how we can prevent such tragedies in the future.
Lord, have mercy! Christ, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
