Prayer 2238: Mourning for Christchurch


Beloved Creator,
we thank you for sustaining us
through the deepest watches of the night,
and shielding us by your grace and faithful love.

Plant within our hearts
a reverence for your law of love
and a joyful zeal
to share your good news of salvation.
Help us draw all creation
into the fellowship of your kindom, Lord Christ,
seeking your wisdom as a pearl beyond price.

Spirit of the Living God,
place the seal of your blessing over us
by the power of your Holy Name,
and burnish our spirits by the fire of your love,
granting your peace to all whose prayers rise before You.

Amen.

As we reel from the news of a terror attack on Muslims at prayer at two masjids in Christchurch, New Zealand.
