Father God,
Every day there is something going on around us, and, to us, that we cannot control. We question your reason and plan for so much, calamity, misery, discomfort, and violation that comes upon us, for those of us who believe in You and those who don't.
Lord, it is hard to demonstrate and witness your love, unity, and affection for mankind when countless acts of violence, injustice, and cruelty plaques the earth without cause.
Please help us, Lord!
Although we may never fully understand why things happen the way they do, help us to find the strength and understanding in Your love, to carry on.
Help us to speak and explain to our children, loved ones, and those who sit in darkness, Your undying love, grace, and peace is at the forefront of all things seen and unseen. Help us in our continued belief - You're just, You're righteous, You're in control.
Lord help our unbelief.
Continue to protect us, our families and others with the protection of Your Rod and Staff, as we walk through the valley of the shadows of deaf, that which is evident and that which is not.
Comfort us in our time of sorrow. In Jesus' name, Amen.
