Prayers for Conneticut

[Kamm1004]

Admin, forgive me in advance as this is not trad related.
As the day progresses things just keep getting worse. It truly is a sick world we're living in and it amazes me the cruelty and violence some people are capable of. My prayer and condolences go out to all those affected by this tragedy, and any tradgangers in Conneticut. It gives me a little peace of mind knowing those poor innocent children are running around the playgrounds of heaven. Nothing can ever right this wrong and fully comfort the parents of those children. We should all make sure the important people in our lives know that we love them, and be ready at any moment cuz you never know when its your time. May they rest in peace.
-Also I pray that the blame isn't drawn away from the terrible man who did this and redirected towards Guns. Guns did not do this a sick man did. For those unaware 20+ children were stabbed to death today in a school in China as well. If a sick person is determined to do harm, they will find a way. My prayers go out to Conneticut and those in China. What a sad, sad day.

It's heart wrenching!  I drive through Newtown Ct when I visit my brother.  He is in the next town over.  I'm broken hearted to say the least. Pray for them all.

God bless the many affected by this tragedy. Even through all of this may they turn to God and the shelter of his love. God is still God.

Allow me to wax philosophical for a moment if you will...

So many say above they cannot understand how folks can commit such horrific things...

The fact you've come here to post indicates that you and those among us, have a spiritual anchor.

I can't help but wonder whether those who are involved in such atrocities have such a spiritual grounding and belief in God?  Many past such incidences revealed later the perp was a tortured soul without hope.

No matter how bad things are, no matter how disappointed or devastated the situation we face, we KNOW that our life here is a but a bus stop and our true reward is in Heaven.  Hope springs eternal if we but allow for His Will, not ours!

I fear those who perpetrate such awful things on others have no such hope. No such belief system and no personal relationship with our Lord and Savior.

It does NOT help make sense of these awful happenings, but it does call us to renew our devotion to the purpose of this site's forum...to pray thru all these things, be in Christian community with one another and to set aside our petty disagreements and put Love front and center.

Lord, be with all those who are reeling in disbelief and agony at this terrible new loss in our society, in China and around the globe. Help us to reconnect and once again become "One Nation Under God!"

Tragic and incomprehensible..

prayers from NY

[Danny Rowan]

This is a terrible tragedy. My prayers go out to the families of those children, may God ease their pain.

Just shows that the devil is out and about. Only he could make someone do this. And, yes I fear the blame will go to guns, guns did not do this, a heartless evil man did, just like the one in China who stabbed all those children.

[DWRay]

I have recently lost my oldest Son.  I know the pain that the families are feeling and my heart and prayers go out to them.  God Bless them all.

Doc Nock  You said what this country needs to hear!! I wish the leaders of this country could stand up and say that instead of placeing the blame on guns or something else besides the moral corruption of our country

[bear1336]

Prayers sent for all the families involved and for the town that it may start the healing process. What a tragic waste of young lives and probably no one will ever understand why.
In HIS service

Doc,
 So glad you are among us in prayer..I come to these posts looking for peace of mind and all I can say is I'm so blessed to be part of this prayer group..I think we all have this helpless feeling in our hearts wondering why and what could set someone in a position to do this to children or anybody but as one person already commented the devil is seeking to distroy all he can cause he knows his time is limited..God wants our hearts to be as His and right now I truely believe we all have the same heart as God cause this hurts us..We hate this and we need to hate all sin and turn from all wickedness we do! God forgive our nation and the evil that temps so many...
