Merciful Father in Heaven,
Please be with this young man in his most desperate hour. Grant your strength and courage and comfort to him, and his family and friends who are in pain over his selfish decision tonight.
Please help us, as adults who are around all these lost and lonely young people today, be strong witnesses to your unconditional love for them, and please use us to bring your message of hope and peace to them.
We ask in the name of Jesus Christ, your beloved Son.
Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
(Hang in there…I’ll keep praying for you all. I know all to well the pain of losing a student to such an avoidable and regrettable decision. All my love to you* :console
