Pray with Pastor David for Uvalde, TX

May 25, 2022

If you need to reach out to someone who can offer care to you – our ministry leaders are available to you. Reach out to the church by calling 281-859-9900.

You can pray in specific ways for those who are suffering right how – here’s how:

1. Pray that the God of all comfort will heal the broken-hearted and bind up their wounds. Pray for the real comfort of the Holy Spirit to flow into their unspeakable grief.

2. Pray for first responders and crisis volunteers who are present. Pray that God protects their minds and hearts as they minister and car for the people affected by these events.

3. Pray for local, state, and national policy makers to look for wisdom from God for how to respond effectively to these events that are becoming more and more common.

4. Pray for spiritual awakening and revival in our nation. That as a culture, we would turn to the God of the Bible to be the center of our lives.

The Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District and our own Children’s Ministry has made available some really useful resources for how to talk to your children about these events.
