Will you join me in praying for Paris?
Father,
We don't understand what causes humans to choose the path displayed in horror last night. Their goal, their thought process. But we are saddened by the consequences of their choice.
We ask that you be close to those that are mourning, those who didn't know they had hugged loved ones, sent texts, commented on FB posts, for the last time.
Please be with the survivors, those in pain, those in the hospitals, those struggling to process what happened around them.
Please be with the doctors, the nurses, the nurse techs, the environmental service members, the hospital administration who are caring for the victims. Give them wisdom and kindness, patience and skill.
And please be with France's president Francois Holland and his team as they wrestle with their response to these terrible attacks. May they choose the right reaction, and may their allies hear your guidance as they seek to support a friend in need.
Thank-you for providing us rescue from this world through Jesus. Thank-you that we have eternal hope far beyond anything darkness could ever touch.
Amen
