“I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing
compared with the glory to be revealed for us.”
Romans 8:18

Loving Father,
I praise you for being our God and the Lord of our lives.
You are the same God today that you were yesterday.
And you will be the same God tomorrow.
You will neither leave us nor forsake us.
You will not abandon us in our moments of peril and fear.
We need only turn toward you and allow your Spirit to fill our hearts.
Your Word is our guidance and comfort.

I thank you for being present in the aftermath of the Boston tragedy.
Thank you for sending your servants to aid those who were harmed and in need.
Darkness did not prevail on this day.
The light of your blessed Son shone brightly and overshadowed the evil actions of the lost souls.

 May it be your will to use this horrific event for a greater, more powerful purpose.
Let us celebrate the lives of those who perished and remember their sacrifice.
Let us respond with a greater love, unity and forgiveness.
And may the world see your face through us.

 In the name of your precious Son, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
