Prayer For The Students
Lord,
We ask that you would show great care and compassion for children of all ages.
Whether in preschool or in high school, hold these children close to Your heart.
Help them to know that you are with them.
Do not let fear take hold of them in their daily responsibility to be at school to learn.
We pray for caring teachers who see them if they struggle and loving parents to nurture them and speak life over them in their processing of this tragedy.
We pray for a sense of security in knowing that You are with them always and that You care for them.
Help them to remember that you created them and have a plan for their lives.
Help them to be seen, heard, and embraced.
Give them strength to trust in You even when the world is broken and scary.
Help them to know that You are their Savior and Lord.
We pray that this tragedy would help young people to think about eternity and make decisions to accept Jesus as their Savior.
We pray that children would feel comforted and encouraged by one another.
Help them to know that they are loved.
Amen
