EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 35: For Local Schools and Safety
In 2018 there were reportedly 94 school gun violence incidents in the United States (US Naval Postgraduate School data, vox.com, 12/10/2018). Back in October a 13YO Trickum Middle School student brought a butcher knife to school and stabbed one of his teachers. We are living in an era where potential violence and training for active shooter response are part of how schools have to operate. We have several teachers in our congregation. Let's pray for the safety of teachers and students and that our society would come to God to have the deepest needs and causes for violence addressed in His grace for us all.
"All your children shall be taught by the LORD,
and great shall be the peace of your children." - Isaiah 54:13 ESV
"He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?" - Micah 6:8 ESV
