ReplyDeleteGod, the author of peace and lover of concord, we give you thanks and praise for your presence on a dark day. We ask you to be with us as we exhale from the stress of the day, rest through the night, and rise up tomorrow to move into our future. We give thanks for all those who exhausted themselves working to restore our safety today; we give thanks for all small acts of kindness that buoyed us through this; and we ask for your guidance and strength in the days ahead as we work for a safer world for all your people. In Christ's name, AMEN.
