Haiti School Collapse
Sat/08/Nov 2008
Haiti is such a tragic place. It seems that a heartbreaking story originates from that little country every week. I don’t like to think about my boys getting old enough to go off to school. However, I have never worried that the school would collapse upon them. I can’t imagine the pain that the parents and family are facing this morning. The next time we complain about the quality of our schools, we should think of these pictures.
Heavenly Father,
Please have mercy upon the nation of Haiti as its people are forced to endure tragedy once again. We understand that there are hundreds of children trapped in the collapsed building. We pray for the rescue teams that are working to save lives. May your presence be seen in the christians that risk their lives to save innocent victims. We ask that you would protect them and guide their hands as they sort through the wreckage. Most of all, we pray that you would preserve the lives of those that are trapped and that you would unite mothers and fathers with their children. Only your grace is sufficient to comfort and heal the hurt that this event will create. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen!
