Daily devotion – tragedy in Nashville
Our hearts are broken once more as we read of the shooting in Nashville. We live in a time when followers of Christ in particular are being targeted because of their faith in Jesus Christ.
This tragedy reminds us once again that we are in a most volatile spiritual battle. Let us be therefore people of prayer, compassion and may our faith not be staggered by such tragedies but only serve to have us fall to our knees and look to our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ!
Brothers and sisters of Calvary, please join us in praying for the parents and families of the victims of a deadly school shooting in Nashville, TN, on Monday morning.
Six victims, including three children, were shot and killed at The Covenant School, a private Christian school in Nashville. The 9-year-old daughter of Chad Scruggs, senior pastor (picture below) of Covenant Presbyterian Church that sponsors the school, was among the victims.
Also, pray for the children and staff who witnessed the horrific events and for the first responders and law enforcement officers, who often experience traumatic stress. Pray for “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, [to] guard their hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).
