Lord, this
morning the terrorist attacks that rocked Paris and the world are still at the
forefront of our minds. We are praying for the people of France. We are praying
for justice. We are praying for those who lost loved ones. We are part of the solidarity
reflected all across social media. Yet we know, Lord, that the solidarity and
resolve will soon fade, while, for many, the psychological and physical injuries will
not. So this morning we take a moment to consider the future. We pray for the
long-term healing that will seem elusive to many who witnessed and experienced
the carnage of November 14, 2015. We pray even now for medical professionals of
all related specialties (mental health, physical therapy, orthopedics, etc.,) to feel
called to work with these survivors. We pray for the survivors to find the
inner strength and hope to persevere on their journeys toward healing. And we
pray for at least one Christ-follower in each survivor’s life to regularly come
alongside him or her to point to HOPE, even when suffering seems overwhelming. Reveal
yourself through this journey. Glorify yourself through healing. In Jesus’
powerful name we pray, Amen.
