 Praying for the End of the Gun Violence Epidemic
(reprinted from the OR Synod)
 

God, giver of life, you intend for humans to live together in peace. 

 

In this time of grief over gun violence, we pray for your presence among us.

 

That, trusting in your mighty and gentle healing, we may live in hope, we pray:

make us instruments of your peace.

 

God of resurrection, we remember before you those who have died, children, teachers and staff of Robb Elementary School, in Uvalde.

 

We commend them to your eternal love. 

 

Grant healing and wholeness to the survivors who are wounded or traumatized and restore all whose spirits are maimed by such violence. 

 

That we may serve as your arms of care to those in distress, we pray:

make us instruments of your peace.

God of true might and redemptive mercy, receive our prayers, and grant us to become your instruments of peace, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

Amen.

 

These prayer portions are taken for the Prayer for Lamenting Gun Violence in the hymnal supplement All Creation Sings, pg. 107.
