During my 3 1/2 years in Nebraska, I only went to the West Roads Mall a handful of times. It wasn't along any of my normal routes going to and from the various hospitals in Omaha, so I opted to go elsewhere most of the time.
Holy God, once again, gun shots scatter a crowd looking to purchase a gift to signify the love they have for another. I beg of you to bring peace to our world: give us eyes to see those who are hurting; give us ears to hear the cries for help; and your compassionate wisdom so that we might provide a word, a touch, a smile, that helps the downtrodden open up and use words to express their pain and frustration. Guide us to find ways to reach out, so that no one need travel the path that Robert Hawkins took again.
Comfort the victims and their families with your holy presence so that they feel Emmanuel, God with us, embracing them during these dark days. We await the glad sound that signifies our savior comes again. Amen
