A prayer for the shooting incident in CT

Father, I pray for comfort for the souls of the men, women and children who were victims of the shooting incident in Newtown, CT. I pray for strength for the families that they left. I pray that You will be with them at this time of grief and loss. I pray that as their Father, You will be there to comfort them and give them hope. I pray for those who survived, that they may be able to get over the horrific things that they witnessed inside the school. Lord, I pray for those innocent children. I pray that their lives will not be scarred deeply, to the point that they lose their innocence. Lord, You have showed Your fondness for children. I pray that You will be with these children as they realize what had happened in their school. I pray that their hearts and minds will not be jaded from this incident. Lord, I pray for all the parents in that city. May they seek for Your guidance and pray too for strength. Father, I pray for all people who are given the responsibility to handle guns. I pray that they will use these weapons responsibly. I pray that the government will be able to do something about this issue. I pray for stricter implementation of gun laws. I pray that families, not just in America, but around the world, will sleep tonight with an appreciation of the fact that they are still together. I pray for stronger bonds of families so that this will not happen again. I pray for responsible parents and obedient children. I pray for love, for responsibility, for faith. Father, You know how it feels to lose a Child, please be with these families as they go through the next days without their loved ones.
