Lord Jesus, in Your Mighty Name, we stand against such senseless violence in our nation in schools or any where….we ask that Your Holy Spirit come upon our nation and guide, guard, and settle us down to believe in Your gift of salvation, Your gift of internal peace, Your gift of life. May we see that a society which brings forth these killings is NOT life….may we settle for Your Ways, O Father God….In the Name of Your Precious Son….amen
Lord of all goodness and light, spread this light into the hearts of the children. Blow Your breath upon and into every child in this nation and around the world. Turn the tables on darkness today, Lord. Comfort every person involved. Comfort those who lost loved ones. May the Truth of Your Word rise up in Madison, WI. May You be glorified in all of this. Amen.
Please – IFA, stop using every download you make available as an opportunity to solicit for donations. As just one of thousands who donates regularly to IFA, I find it offensive. Surely it is not so very costly to send electronic copies of prayer outlines that funds are required. It’s very off putting. Thank you.
