Heavenly Father, we come You to lift up this tragic loss of life and pray that You would draw very close to those that have been left behind and are in grief and disbelief, and we pray that You would draw very close to all whose spirits are mourning this tragic loss of life.
Lord, draw very close to those that are broken-hearted, confused, needy or in any way afflicted by what has happened, and give them Your peace and hope in their hearts.
Comfort each one with Your love, strengthen each one by Your grace, draw close to those whose hearts are breaking and may each one lean on You and take their hope and strength from You, Whom to know is life eternal. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
