Borrowed prayer.

I am borrowing a prayer from a blogger that I really enjoy... She is one of the only bloggers I follow, and I think you'll see why;

"Today, we remember that twenty parents in Newtown, Connecticut will not send their child to school today.

Or this week.

Or ever again.

No more birthday parties. No more tickle fights. No more soccer games or dance recitals or art classes. There will be no high school graduation. No walking down the aisle. No celebrating dreams fulfilled, marriages, grandchildren.

For these ones, today, we pray:

These families, this community, God, we lift to your throne. When hope seems lost, we cling to You, for them, for their children. We ask for your strong arms to steady these precious families. For your spirit to minister peace in a time of destruction. For believers to come and be light in darkness. To be love. Grace. Peace. Hope. Your hands. Your feet. Your truth.
We long for the day You promised, the day when You "will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more deathor mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." [Revelation 21:4]
And until that day, Lord, we ask for a little bit of Heaven on earth. For Your touch among the mourning and the brokenhearted. Jesus, even though we don't understand, we love you. We wait for You.
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

[1 Timothy 1:17]"

Couldn't have said it better myself.
