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.
