Prayer For The Victims
Jesus, by becoming human you have elevated the human body to the dignity of divinity. Sadly, there are among us those whose bodies have been savaged by the very ones who have been called to serve and protect them. These crimes cry out for justice and for healing, and we raise our voices in prayer for the healing of our brothers and sisters. We acknowledge that by our silence and our blindness we are complicit in these crimes and sins, and we ask for forgiveness.
Lord Jesus, during your life on earth you were known as a healer of bodies, minds and spirits. Send your healing Spirit upon these brothers and sisters of ours that they may begin to experience some light, peace and joy in this life.
Pour your Spirit of peace into the hearts of their families - parents, brothers and sisters, spouses and children - that they may recover a sense of your presence in their lives.
And make us all more sensitive to the need to protect our children from those who might harm them that your Body here on earth may be made whole to the glory of God.
Amen.
Dear Lord, we bless You that Your Word reminds us that we are only sinners saved by Grace. We pray Lord for shooting victims who have experienced death of a loved one by the hands of another. God we acknowledge that the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal Life in Christ Jesus our Lord. As we pray for the shooting victims, that You will bring consolation and peace in the midst of their grief, we plead that you will grant the free gift of Eternal Life to those shooting addicts' in Jesus Name.
Dear Lord, we pray this prayer of comfort for shooting victims. Father, You said that we must not avenge ourselves, but we must leave it to the wrath of God because vengeance is Yours and You will repay. So, we pray for shooting victims and ask that You shall provide comfort for them during their time of grief. You are the God of refuge in times of trouble, Amen.
Jesus, I pray for all people who are victims of senseless violence. For those who are killed in war, both members of the military and innocent civilians, Jesus help them. For people killed by random shootings in public places, both in the U.S. and abroad, help us to solve the root problems that lead to these tragedies.
Please be with families in domestic abuse situations everyday, and help those victims, especially children, with a way out. Jesus, thank you for the peace in our homes and communities but help us to be mindful and pray for all who suffer in other places. Lord here our prayer.
Dear Lord,
We pray for victims of violence and their families, that they may experience our love and support and find comfort in your compassion and in the promise of eternal life.
We also hold in prayer all of the times that we have experienced harm, in any form.
Grant us the courage to seek out restorative encounters to bring about your vision of healing
and unity that we, your people, may no longer be divided by the hurt we cause one another in our brokenness.
Help us practice forgiveness in the small things, so we may embody Your spirit of a more restorative justice in the big things.
Amen
Loving God, you are the author and sustainer of our lives. You know the anguish of the sorrowful, you are attentive to the prayers of the brokenhearted. Hear your people who cry out to you in their need; strengthen their hope in your lasting goodness.
We pray today for those who have died because of violence, of terrorism. Draw them to yourself; let your face shine upon them. May they be greeted with choirs of angels and experience your eternal peace and joy.
Be near to all those who have been touched by violence: those who have been hurt, lost their loved ones or lost their sense of security. Be for them a steady comfort and safe resting place.
Soften the hearts and steady of the minds of those who would do violence to others. May hate be replaced with love, violence with peace and darkness with your light.
Amen.
Almighty Father, Thank you for your love, grace and mercy. I pray that my discomforts will turn to comforts, my pains to gains, my deprivation to more blessings, my losses to profits, my tear to smiles, my sorrows to pleasures, my illness to wellness, my debts to credits and my dreams to realities.
As the scripture said The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. And he He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
I trust in you Lord and in you alone to heal me with any form of skepticism towards blessing that you will be employed upon me. I trust, Lord, that this agony and suffering that is only in my head, will come to end and positivism will shine upon me as I read, hear, study and preach the truth in the Bible. Amen.
Gracious God, I pray for the victims of this disaster, Lord, that you would comfort the lives that were spared Lord, and that you would take care of those who perished.Amen.
