Violence has arisen, a rod to punish the wicked. None of the people will be left, none of that crowd-- none of their wealth, nothing of value. (Ezekiel 7:11)

Let us pray: Lord Almighty, please watch over your helpless people in desperate times. We pray that the root of wickedness which causes violence and terrorism to arise in our nation be broken forever. We pray that no more innocent victims and casualties shall lie down helpless on the streets. We pray that every access point in our cities is safe from illegal weapon and ammunition. Guide our government Lord that they may legitimize and strengthen anti-violence laws. Amen.
