God, O’ Heavenly Father, we pray to with sorrow, fear, and pain in our hearts. We pray for Your guidance to understand why horrible things happen for no real reason at all. We pray for Your peace and grace to find the hearts of those that have lost a child, friends, and family members in this disaster brought upon by a human hand. We pray that You bless each of those lost and help them find their way into Your loving arms. We pray for forgiveness for the perpetrator behind of this senseless bloodshed. May You find forgiveness for his soul.  We know that the human nature is sin at its base.  We pray that those that are hurting find comfort in Your love. We know that You hold children closer to Your heart due to their loving nature and teach-ability. May we all learn lessons from this tragedy and find ways to turn to You. We pray that You guide all Americans to search their souls and get involved in turning this bleak world into a loving and supportive world instead. We pray in Your precious Son’s Holy Name, Jesus Christ. Amen.
