A Prayer for Southport
Offered for use by anyone who needs it
Gracious God,
Words alone cannot express our sadness and disbelief
Our heartbreak and anguish
When such precious lives are so brutally stolen.
We offer to you the cries of our own hearts
And pray for those families whose grief and loss
Is impossible to comprehend.

Help us all to cling to hope
Even amidst this senseless brutality.

Surround them with your love;
Hold them fast in their sorrow,
And grant them strength amidst their unbearable pain.
