Lord, I pray for the people who lost their lives in the hostage drama that just took place. I pray for their grieving families--for comfort and strength at this time of pain and loss. I pray for those who were wounded and are now in hospitals. I pray for God's blessing and wisdom upon the men in our police force. I pray for our country, in Jesus name. Life is so fragile. We hang onto it by a thread. At every single moment, live a life of love.
