Oh Lord,
I pray for the repose of the souls of all who lost their lives, and I pray for the peace of mind of those who lost someone they loved or all they had owned.
I cannot imagine losing someone I knew or everything I've worked for all my life.
But I can imagine the utter despair I would feel.
So Lord, hear my plea to comfort those who have gone through a literal hell on earth and grant them the strength to rebuild their lives.
