Somedays are harder to come here than others... :(
Lord, you know our sorrow at the news we find here of troubles, trials and tragedy among our friends.
You know we stray. We leave things undone. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves...and the list goes on, yet we know you love us.
We ask that you lay your peace on the family of this young man whose momentary lapse of judgement led to his end. Be with his soul, Lord and forgive him his youthful behavior. Bring peace and strength to his family and friends.
Let others use this tragedy to help other young people see the folly of mis-adventures.
We ask in your loving Son's name, Jesus, Amen.
