Prayer about terrorist attack in Paris

Lord, we are sad to live in a time of terror. We are dismayed by what happened in Paris today. Bring comfort to the many who are hurting. Bring peace and courage to the city, rather than fear. Thank you, Lord, that the police have identified the suspects. We pray that law enforcement officers will have success as they seek to capture these professional assassins, even as night falls. Please help their efforts be coordinated, well-executed and brave. Lord, we grieve over the loss of life—both those who were specifically targeted and others who were killed as collateral damage. We do not necessarily rejoice over what these four cartoonists produced, but we do rejoice that they did not live their lives in fear. Heavenly Father, keep us from living in fear, regardless of what others threaten to do to us. May we live with our faith and trust in you. May we pursue your purposes for our lives, regardless of what dangers we may perceive. In Jesus’ powerful name we pray, amen.
