Pray for Boston

It has been a teary eyed morning for me as I have been doing my housework with the TV on and seeing the images from the bombing at the Boston marathon.  My heart weeps for the victims and their families.  I just learned that an 8 year old boy passed away who had gone to see his father run and I can't help but feel such deep sadness for his family.  

I read a good post this morning and thought I would share.  The thing to do now is to pray.  Pray for the victims and their families.  Pray for those helping them to recover.  Pray for our President and leaders and those involved in the investigation.  

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (NIV)
