There are times when my day to day ramblings seem petty

A moment of prayer for those hurt in the explosions in London today, and for the families touched by it, and for families everywhere touched by dark doings at the hand of another.

O Lord,
let our cry come unto thee,
the cry of those weeping
the frightened,
the angry,
those who are injured,
those who lost loved ones,
those who have died,
those who would do this to others,
let our cry come unto thee,
and bring your light
to shatter the darkness
of our fear and despair and anger and loss.
Remember us,
as we struggle here,
sorting out the pieces,
angry,
hurt,
confused,
needful,
and lead us down the road we should walk,
and not the road that leads to the darkness
this day, and always,
Amen.
