Prayers for Las Vegas

[moose 57]

What a Horrible tragedy. I pray for all that lost their lives, those who were injured, their families, and the people who witnessed this.

 

 

not mine yet it is a good Prayer for all involved 

Prayer for Las Vegas

 

Lord God, we awake to another city that will now be known as an event, rather than a place. We greet the morning grateful in the knowledge that this very day you are present and sovereign, but we are also dismayed by the actions of a fellow human being. Another city struggles to respond to suffering, death and inexplicable violence. Las Vegas is now added to the ever-growing list of towns and cities, nightclubs and schools, concerts and offices where we count lives lost, people injured and those forever left asking, “Why?”

Prince of Peace, you promise to bless and comfort those who mourn. Draw near to those for whom last night marked the end of life as they once knew it. support the injured and the grieving, surround them with people who will walk with them today and in the many difficult days ahead. Grant strength to the first responders who enter into the carnage and pain to bring relief. Make all of us tireless advocates for systems that help prevent tragedies, care for the vulnerable and uphold the weak.

Holy Spirit, Advocate and Comforter, be unmistakably present in Las Vegas as You bring healing, hope, strength and community. May the light of Christ shine brighter than the neon strip even during this dark season. May the water of life flow through the parched places in the desert and throughout our nation. May the love of God have the resounding, last, life-giving word and may we amplify it in our words and in our lives. Amen.

God our Father, 
Your power brings us to birth, Your providence guides our lives, and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence, their lives change but do not end. 
I pray in hope for my family, relatives and friends, and for all the dead known to You alone. 

In company with Christ, Who died and now lives, may they rejoice in Your kingdom, where all our tears are wiped away. 
Unite us together again in one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen.

Texas sends prayers in you directions. 

May Our Loving Lord send His angelic angels to hold each and every one that has been affected by this demonic action.   I believe that when we have demonic activity God increases angelic activity to come to our aid.  It's called unity, people will unite to get through the most horrific situations.  We will help the hopeless, they will have hope, and the helpless will get help, so please pray because this demonic evil will linger on this city to gather as many as he can.  This goes for all evil actions that has happen in the past, the present, and still those to come.

Wife and I just back from Vegas. All OK   Country is not our thing but ten relatives were there at concert. Somehow they are all ok.  Cousin Jeff had people die all around him. He saw rounds hit the asphalt all around him/.  I spoke with his Mom Saturday night at dinner Center cut Flamingo and she said she hated being in the crowds at the show ( they went all three nights. ) said it scared her.   said there would be no way out if something happened.  Always go with your gut feeling. after all our guts have more neurons then most small animals
