I'm not sure how many of you freqent the news, but this morning a pastor was shot while preaching. He was killed, and two of the congregants were injured. I have 2 specific prayers about this tragedy , as I'm shaking and confused and worried.
1. The entire situation is scary and tragic. Please pray for the witnesses, the victims, the families, as well as the families of the killer. Just the whole situation. Lives have been changed today.
2. This church is in my home community -- less than a mile from where I grew up. I have several friends in the congregation. As much as this hurts on a general scale, my heart is breaking at a local scale as well. I know God's in control, but...
Thanks, to any who are willing to pray. I know that the Father has already won the battle, but the road until He returns is likely to be covered with more pain like this.
Edited to add: I just found out that I know the shooter, as well. His family is members at my church. Please pray.

Oh no! We did hear about this although I did not know the pastor was killed, only shot. I will definitely be praying for you and the community where this happened. Also for the families involved in this horrible tragedy. Thank God for the strength He can give.
