A night of prayer for the victims of the shootings in Atlanta and Boulder.
Lord, in our shock and confusion, we come before you.In our grief and despair in the midst of hate,
in our sense of helplessness in the face of violence, we lean on you.
For the families of those who have been killed we pray.
For the shooters—help us to pray, Lord.
For the communities that have lost members—their anger, grief, fear—we pray.
For the churches striving to be your light in darkness beyond our comprehension, we pray.
In the face of hatred, may we claim love, Lord.
May we love those far off and those near.
May we love those who are strangers and those who are friends.
May we love those who we agree with and understand,and even more so, Lord, those who we consider to be our enemies.
Lord, have mercy.
Heal our sin-sick souls.
Make these wounds whole, Lord. Amen.

"The Psalms"
Perhaps no other portion of Scripture has been read, repeated, chanted, sung, studied, wept over, expounded, loved, and praised by God’s people for thousands of years like the Psalms.
Over the next year we will walk through some of the most beloved, most misunderstood, and most neglected Psalms. We will come to know the God behind the Psalms as well as His Son to whom the Psalms point.
From joyful laughter to brokenhearted lament to awe-inspiring praise, the Psalms give us a language for every season of the soul.
