If You Needed a Reason to Pray Today...

...look no further. Yesterday, a gunman opened fire in a Wisconsin church service killing seven. There is no word about why this occurred, but then we may never have a rational "reason" as the gunman also killed himself - indicating a very deranged and/or tormented mind. This denomination appears to be a devout evangelical sect so it is likely that they have a strong faith to fall back upon. But there is nothing but the "peace that passes understainding" than can quell the grief, anger, and confusion of seeing a 10-year-old murdered by a madman. May God provide the peace that is desperately needed here, and a special sense of His presence in this place and time. Persecution and tragedy are nothing new to the Body of Christ. But each time, it is just as hard as the first time.
