As the reality begins to set in and we learn more details about the deadliest shooting massacre in U.S. history, our tendency is to want to do something to help. As Christians there is something we all can do, and that is pray. We can pray for the families who lost a loved one, we can lift up in prayer the students who suffered a horrendous trauma, we can pray for the community that will grieve and mourn and then pull together in healing. We can pray for God's comfort in loss.
