More support in Virginia Tech tragedy

There are so many good thoughts and prayers being shared in posts! Wanted to be sure to point out some more of these as a help. They've all added much fuel to my prayers. Hope they do for you, too!

Also, this peom by Mary Baker Eddy, has been in my thought a lot these last couple of days. I offer it as a prayer for all involved in this sad event.

Satisfied

It matters not what be thy lot,
So Love doth guide;
For storm or shine, pure peace is thine,
Whate'er betide.

And of these stones, or tyrants' thrones,
God able is
To raise up seed--in thought and deed--
To faithful His.

Aye, darkling sense, arise, go hence!
Our God is good.
False fears are foes--truth tatters those,
When understood.

Love looseth thee, and lifteth me,
Ayont hate's thrall:
There Life is light, and wisdom might,
And God is All.

The centuries break, the earth-bound wake,
God's glorified!
Who doth His will--His likeness still--
Is satisfied.

BTW - be sure to check out friend Chris Raymond's wonderful blog post about "Sending prayers to Virginia Tech." Wonderfully thoughtful!

Adding my prayers for those at Virginia Tech

What sadness has enveloped the campus of Virginia Tech after yesterday's tragic shootings. My heart and my prayers go out to all of those involved.

I pray that those who have lost a loved one can find the peace that Jesus gave to us all - that eternal sense of God's everpresence that holds us all so closely.

I pray that the family of the troubled young man who took this step can find some glimmer of light and hope over these next days and months as the pieces of his life are laid out for everyone, that they can know that their son/brother/grandson/nephew/cousin is not the person really that will be painted for the world to see. He truly is a child of God, though something clouded this from his perception.

I pray that the campus can return to a natural sense of safety and security - as provided by supreme Life, the One who really is governing the universe and maintaining all good.

I pray that the family members of those killed can find the strength to forgive this troubled young man so that they can find healing of this grief that perhaps feels so overwhelming right now.

And I know that the God who is divine Love will give all this good to all of those involved, as She is always doing every moment. Much love to you all!!

45:16
Glory be to God, and peace to the struggling hearts! Christ hath rolled away the stone from the door of human hope and faith, and through the revelation and demonstration of life in God, hath elevated them to possible at-one-ment with the spiritual idea of man and his divine Principle, Love.
