The innocent victims of yet another brutal terrorist attack are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

We should not have to live in fear, yet we are continually met with sad, frightening news of attack after attack.

We know that those who died in the Manchester terror attack are now safe in the hands of God. We hope and pray that the injured, the other survivors and the families of the victims find support and peace during the difficult days ahead.

We also pray for our world, that it would be filled with hope, joy, love and peace.

May God find a way to enter into even the darkest of hearts so that we no longer have to fear or ever again experience such a tragedy as the one that occurred in Manchester, England on Monday night.
