This is a good post and call for us to pray for our nation!
Pastor Brad
Tonight, we’re grieving the news of another act of violence in our nation. Lives made in the image of God were put at risk, and that should never feel normal to us.
We are also grateful for the safety of our president, vice president, and all those who were present — attendees, staff, and those in law enforcement and Secret Service who acted quickly to protect others.
Scripture is clear: violence, hatred, and the devaluing of human life are not just tragic… they are the fruit of a broken world and a sinful heart. And while moments like this often pull people into deeper division, we want to be a different kind of people.
Jesus calls us peacemakers. Not people who ignore evil, but people who overcome it with good.
So tonight, we’re going to pray.
We’re praying for continued safety and protection over our nation, especially those in harm’s way and processing the events of tonight.
We’re praying for wisdom and wise counsel for those making decisions in the days ahead.
We’re praying for healing — real, deep healing — in a nation that feels increasingly divided.
And we’re praying for the Church at large, that we would rise up as a different kind of people… bringing hope, not hostility; peace, not panic; the life of Jesus into every space we step into.
So God, we trust You. In a world that feels unstable, You are still steady.
