Prayer on Occasion of Assassination

 Father God,

We come to You today, Lord, very shaken and sickened.

I confess my sins of pride and complacency, I am really brought low and feel sorrow.

I thank You for bringing us a speaker like Charlie Kirk, who had an uncompromising message for our country.

Thank You for the speakers and politicians that stand up for what's right.

Thank You for being with our country in the face of rampant crime, and help us to stand against the evil without being influenced by it.

We put on our Ephesians 6 armor, and ask You to give us strength to give us the ability to turn back evil at our gates.

And let us not give in to violent anger, but remember that who we fight against is NOT flesh and blood, but against the rulers and authorities in he heavenly realms.

In the mighty name of JESUS, who is above every name that can be named, we ask You to give us wisdom about how we should go forward from this moment.

Be with Charlie's family. Strengthen them and give them peace.

Give us wisdom about dealing with our loved ones about this tragedy who may not understand.

Grant them an understanding, Heavenly Father, let this be a moment when people come to an understanding, as it says in Isaiah, so that people who walk in darkness can see a great light.

We ask for that light now, Father, for we know that the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness will not overcome it.

Once again, we thank You for Your ever present love, help us to give it to others.

For all these things we ask in the POWERFUL and MIGHTY name of JESUS!!!

Amen.
