Pray for our country
Police shot two black men, and only God knows the entire story. There are protests everywhere. In a Dallas protest, shots were fired. Five officers died and more were wounded.
Violence by protesters brings more violence. Nothing will bring back these two men who were killed by police or the officers killed by a gunman in Dallas.
Skin color should not matter; these tragic deaths were humans with a soul. Their families and friends will suffer the most, and my heart goes out to the girlfriend and her child who had to witness her boyfriend’s murder.
Between the violence, the political situations and the terrorists, people are afraid. The news carries all of the bad things happening that no one person can change.
There is so much hatred where there should be love. My prayer is that God will be with the families of those who were killed. I pray people see that violence will not solve the problems. We have to unite as one with all all races.
Make those involved accountable and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
Support our police and help everyone respect the lives of others. Pray for our country.
