Heavenly Father, today we pray for all connected to
the Humboldt Broncos hockey team:
surviving members, surviving leaders, parents, siblings, friends, community
members, fans, and more. We know that the town of Humboldt, the province of Saskatchewan,
and the nation of Canada are reeling from the terrible bus accident that
claimed 14 lives and injured 15 others--some critically. Lord, we pray for the
injured, that they would recover! We pray for excellent care, strong spirits,
and great shows of support. May these survivors not only achieve physical
healing, but mental, spiritual and emotional healing, having suffered such
great trauma. Now, we pray for the grieving, especially the immediate families
of those who have passed from this earth into eternity. You see their
unbearable grief. Sustain them with the peace that passes understanding.
Surround them with people who understand and serve them. May friends and
neighbors be creative in supporting those who grieve. We pray for the
community--locally and nationally--to continue to show the best side of
humanity during this tragedy. May people demonstrate great love, compassion and
humanity during this dark hour. May excellent events, memorials, etc., be
created to honor these young men. And, Lord, we do ask for investigators to determine
the cause of the crash as a step toward closure and peace for those who grieve.
In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
