A prayer from our General Minister and President Sharon Watkins, reflecting on the Navy Yard shootings: God, we yearn for wholeness in your creation. We crave peace of mind and heart. And yet our vision of peace has been shattered once again by a troubled man with an automatic weapon. Rain down your love and comfort , we pray, on those families and friends left behind by the Navy Yard shootings. Bring calm into the spirits of those who are too uncomfortably reminded of previous experiences of personal trauma, violence and loss. Guide us toward decisions and policies as church, communities and nation that will allow us to say, “Never again,” and it be so. O dear God, we hunger for your reign of wholeness and peace. Lead us, we pray in Jesus’ will and way. AMEN
