LORD JESUS, we implore YOU to send REVIVAL to our land, a THIRD GREAT AWAKENING that will bring the hearts of our people back to the foot of YOUR cross where they will find forgiveness from sin.
When they walk in the power of YOUR SALVATION, they will then find hope that transcends their circumstances, they will then find joy that is their strength, they will then find peace that overcomes trauma, they will then find love that covers a multitude of transgression.
NBC
is right—this is a grim milestone.
So far in 2016, more than 500 homicides have been committed in the city of Chicago.
Ninety people were murdered in August alone. One of them was a cousin of NBA star Dwyane Wade.
Every life lost is a tragedy.
Chicago Police Department Superintendent Eddie Johnson said, “It’s not a police issue, it’s a society issue…people without hope do these kinds of things."
He’s hit on a key truth here—people need hope. The true source of hope is Jesus Christ. He alone can forgive sin, heal hearts, and transform lives, making us new.
The Bible tells us, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9).
Pray for all those affected by this tragedy in Chicago, and pray for their city’s law enforcement, that God would protect them as they serve.

The tally rose to 512 after a holiday weekend in which 13 were killed.
