PRAYERS FOR VICTIMS OF TERRORISM
Light a candle in our prayer corner….
Loving God,
Welcome into your arms the victims of violence and terrorism especially those who were killed or injured in the explosions at the Istanbul airport.
Comfort their families and comfort those who grieve.
Help us in our fear and uncertainty,
And bless us with the knowledge that we are secure in your love.
Strengthen all those who work for peace,
And may the peace the world cannot give reign in our hearts. Amen
