What an unexplainably tragic time this is in our nation. As a ministry that primarily focuses on ministering to moms and mentors, our hearts are broken for those whose lives have been turned upside down.
We are compiling a list of prayers that we are all praying for those who have lost loved ones and we will be sending those prayers to the families whose lives will never be the same.
At times like this we feel helpless. Some can give financially to help those who in need. But as Oswald Chambers once said… “PRAYER IS THE GREATER WORK!” So, please join us in standing in the gap to pray for those who are grieving so badly that maybe they can’t even think straight right now.
Only God can comfort a hurting heart.
PLEASE ADD YOUR PRAYERS IN THE COMMENT SECTION SO THAT WE CAN COMPILE THEM AND SEND THEM TO THE FAMILIES.
PLEASE LINK UP WITH US IF YOU ARE A BLOGGER WHO IS ALSO PAYING TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO WERE KILLED AND THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES THIS PAST WEEKEND.
The six adults killed at the school were women. Eight of the 20 children that were killed were boys and 12 were girls. All of the children were ages 6 or 7.
And when people ask you where God is in all of this, please remember the GOODNESS OF GOD IS NOT DIMINISHED BY THE WICKEDNESS OF MAN. TRAGEDIES LIKE THAT REMIND US OF HOW WICKED MAN’S HEART CAN BE APART FROM GOD AND HOW DESPERATELY WE NEED THE LORD.
