Pray for Paris.

November 14, 2015 By Talya Tate Boerner

pray for parisThis morning as I waited for my coffee to perk and stared out my kitchen window where I normally look at the magical moon or brightly shining Venus or the smattering of stars hanging in the treetops, there was nothing to see. As the sky turned my favorite shade of morning, all I could think of was what’s next? What are they plotting right now?

Helpless.

Hopeless.

Pray.

That’s all I know to do.

Pray for Paris.

Pray for everyone

before we fade away.

    Amen!!! Pray for everyone…even the Islamic terrorists, that they’ll see the folly of their religious ways and turn to the one and only true God!!!

    It’s hard to comprehend the hatred behind such acts. May God have mercy on our sick, crazy world.

      I agree. I think it’s hard for us to fight against it because we can’t comprehend it.
