On days like today we need these words from our Father in heaven, the God of Israel: “He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Psalm 46:9-11. Not fear. Not despair. Not weapons. But trust in the God of Jacob is our strength as people and as a nation. He is the One who is near to the brokenhearted today. He is the One who executes justice on the earth. Pray to Him today. Pray for Bondi. Pray for our Jewish neighbours who once again have been targeted by evil hatred. Pray for peace. Pray with thanksgiving for those who risked their lives to help others. Pray for our leaders to swiftly and wisely execute justice. When all else fails, pray.
