We Long for YOU

FATHER GOD, we long for YOU at times of tragedy and sorrow.

FATHER GOD, we thank YOU that the reports about those who were felled while practicing for a baseball game evidence their improvement and are optimistic regarding full recovery.

But we yearn for the day when such tragedies will no longer be regular occurrences, for the day when we as a people will be so in tune with YOU and YOUR law that there will be no room for the hatred and discord that are so prevalent among us.

We know that YOUR HOLY CHILD JESUS has died for our transgressions, that HE was bruised for our iniquities...may that single act of sacrifice bring the redemption it was designed to make; may we receive it with thankful hearts and lips that extol HIS glory.

Let us be a people of faith, dear FATHER, a people who cherish the salvation and the freedom our LORD has purchased for us with HIS own shed blood.

We ask this and all YOUR favors in that name that is above all names.
