S: For a child will be born to us a son will be given to us and the government will rest on his shoulders and his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace
Isaiah 9:6
Shout for Joy O daughter of Zion Shout in triumph O Israel! Rejoice and exalt with all your heart O daughter of Jerusalem. The Lord has taken away his judgements against you. He has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst. You will fear disaster no more.
Zephaniah 3:14-15
O - "lasting peace doesn't depend on my circumstances" Everything rests on Christ's shoulders. He is the Prince of Peace in a dark world. We no longer have to fear disaster because we can have everlasting peace with him.
A - I have felt so much anxiety since the shootings last week, and I'm typically not anxious. I don't want to ever have to experience what that town is feeling. I'm praying so desperately that God will receive amazing glory for what comes after this tragedy and I'm praying hard for the souls left here to come to know Christ. I want that community to be able to read these verses above with confidence and feel Christ's peace.
P - Lord you knew this shooting would happen. You are still in control. God I pray for these families and community that they will come to know you more than ever and live their lives for you and not for children that are gone. Show them how to honor their lives by living for you. God protect our country from more of these tragedies and protect our families. Thank you for your peace.
