The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. (Psalm 11:5)

Let us pray: We pray to you God all powerful, that healing, forgiveness and spiritual restoration take over our country. Teach us to value human life and dignity regardless of our gender, race and status. Let no man disgrace and abuse his fellowman. Let no weapon take innocent lives. Help us Lord to stand united against acts of violence and terrorism. Amen.
