A prayer following the tragic death of children in the lake at Babbs Mill Park

Loving Father,

we turn to you in shock and distress

following the tragic death of children

in the lake at Babbs Mill Park.

It is hard to comprehend such horror,

and all that it will mean for their families and friends.

Hold them in your love

and help us to trust that you are in our midst,

even in the bleakest circumstances.

We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
