Pray for Fort Hood Shooting Victims

posted by nsymmonds | 3:59pm Thursday November 5, 2009

11 have been killed and 31 injured in a mass shooting at Fort Hood in Texas. I submit this prayer for the family and friends of the victims who will be receiving news about their loved ones. Please pray and share your prayers.

Heavenly Father,

I come to you asking that you would comfort the family and friends of the victims of the Fort Hood shootings. Meet each of these people at the point of their need and speak the words they need to hear in order to be comforted at this moment. Let the families and friends bind together and be strengthened as they mourn the untimely passing of their loved ones. And for those who are injured, be in the hospital room with them right now. Be at their bedside and hold their hands. Impart healing energy into their room and do what you do best as Jehovah Rophe, the God who heals stitch by stitch. Be with their loved ones who are in hospital waiting rooms awaiting news. Be with the doctors who will treat them, giving those doctors knowledge, wisdom and discernment. Let everyone who will and can pray for the recovery of those who are wounded, the comfort of those who are mourning and even the remorse for the shooters. I pray all of these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, Amen.

I have a brother in the army and was stationed at fort hood a couple years ago. I’ve been there and seen how huge that base is. I just want to say that I’m praying for the families who have soliders at fort hood, and pray that everyone is okay.

…yes, by all means, we might as well pray, for all the goos it’ll do. Belief and faith and being sheep, always in service to some invisible shepherd – these are ODD things to consider virtues. Maybe REALITY would be nice for a change, eh? I’m just suggesting this – to those still capable of putting aside their beLIEfs for a moment of lucidity – as a totally revolutionary ALTERNATIVE to the currently prevailing ‘world view’.

My sister in law is stationed at Fort Hood and is a Medic. We have been unable to reach her and are praying that she is okay. We are also praying for those wounded and those who have lost their lives. We are hoping that she is busy helping the wounded and just unable to answer our calls. God bless her and them all.

Fort Hood is no stranger to me and my family (e.g. all males are in the military and have been to Ft Hood at least once). My cousin is still non-responsive to phone calls, and my brother has been trying to call him and his old sgt. down there since this afternoon, but he too is not answering… I don’t think my cousin has had anything happen to him, because they said that calls to kin were rather quickly made, but I’m still praying for those that did lose their lives and those that are wounded, and overall the mentality of all those there, this is horrible situation, but I know God’s got everyone under his wings.

My husband is a Marine stationed in North Carolina but he’s from Texas. this has brought shock, saddness, anger. I cry everytime I hear about this. I don’t know what I would do if something like this happened to me or my husband or any of our friends. I am praying for the familes and loved ones of the ones lost and the ones injured. You are all in my prayers.

My husband is stationed in Iraq, but we were stationed in Fort Hood for a year prior and will be moving back in May. This is so sad that it was one of our own. I pray for the Victims and their families. My heart and sympathy goes out ot them. This man WILL pay for what he has done to the nation, and the “Army Family” as a whole. May God Bless all! HOOAH!

It’s not about being a muslim or not, but a psychopat-murder who got his mind all screwed emanating fear all of his life then baam, today – we saw a gruesome reality of what he really is capable of.. The only question remains, Now that he is alive? Shall we expect the unexpected? I wouldn’t be surprise if a week from now a tabloid will report “Ford shooter bites the dust”
