Tragedy in Arizona: Grieving for the Young Girl

The great tragedy in Arizona reminds us of the fallen world we live in, and the murder of that beautiful young girl elevates this heinous crime. Because I have three daughters, it hit home for me as I am sure it did for most of you. I cannot imagine the grief her family is going through right now. The fact that she was born on 9-11 (from what I have heard) only magnifies what this child has lived through in her short life.

Let us pray for the family of this young girl that the God of all Peace may comfort them.
Let us pray for the Congresswoman who is still in critical condition that the Great Physician heal her.
Let us pray for the other victims and all others who have personal connections with them that the glory of God may shine through in the midst of this horror.
Let us pray for the proper implementation of justice upon the murderer that the righteousness of God might prevail.
Let us pray for the murderer's repentance lest we become haughty ourselves, for any of us are capable of such sins against our neighbor.
