Pray For Charleston

By now, you’ve likely heard about the tragedy of the Charleston Church massacre. I found out about it yesterday, from a news article online as well as a post from a fellow blogger. Since then, I took the time to read an article detailing the events of the massacre. Speculations say that the shooter, Dylann Roof, has been planning this shooting for a long time, and that the shooting was race-related.

It’s a very frightening event for America. In the past, we have heard about school shootings, but now the violence is entering our churches as well. I urge churches across America to have security, to prevent something like this from happening again. I also find it sad to hear about another race related hate crime. It seems that a sharp division is developing between races in America, which is something that should have ended with Martin Luther King Jr. Thus, I ask you to pray for reconciliation in America, the people who attend the Charleston church, and for God’s hand of protection over churches throughout America.

One thought on “Pray For Charleston

  1. I have been and will continue to pray for the families of the victims and the community of Charleston, SC. What a terrible crime. I am also praying that any other people who seek to divide and destroy the US by taking innocent lives, will be stopped before another tragic event occurs. I second your call for churches to add more security. There’s really nothing you can say or do in this situation other than pray for the community. Such a senseless tragedy!
