Dear Lord, Jesus –

We turn to you as the God of compassion & the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from You.

We lift up the Uvalde families & the brokenhearted across our land.
In our pain we ask for Your healing.
In our sorrow, we ask for Your strength.
In our crisis we ask for Your comfort.

And in this nation, we ask You to help us each
overcome hurt and hate by sharing your infinite love and kindness.

Amen.
