In the wake of this past week's events, many of us are feeling a lot of emotions. It's a tragedy when a person—a father, a husband—loses their life so brutally and in public.
The news is filled with opinions and commentary, and it's easy to get lost in the noise. Rather than add to it, I want to pause and just offer a simple prayer for our nation and our world.
Please pray with me if you will:
Lord, my heart is heavy with the brokenness I feel for the world. I lament the violence and bloodshed that has become so normalized in our society. We've become so numb to it all, and I confess my own part in that. Please break my heart for what breaks yours, and give me a softened heart that weighs the injustice you hold.
