In Prayer

Dear God, I sit in reflection on the events that have transpired today on the campus of Virginia Technical Institute. Lord, Hear my prayers.

Be with those on campus as they battle this tragedy they were thrust into this morning.

Be with the parents of those students and faculty members that were killed.

Be with the students and school personnel that were injured. Speed them recovery, mentally and physically.

Be with the families of those that are injured.

Be with the family of the young man accused of this horrendous action.

Be with the health care professionals - emergency personnel, nurses, doctors - as they care for those that were injured. Grant them knowledge so that they may speed healing to the injured and comfort to the families.

Be with the school Administrators as they work to improve security through out campus.

Be with our country as we try to understand why this happened, the wounds that this has inflicted, and the anguish this has imposed upon our well being.

Lord, Hear Our Prayers. Grant peace and serenity to those 32 souls that have entered Your Kingdom today. May they dwell in Your love forever.

Amen
