Prayers for Nairobi

What to say? The awful happenings in Nairobi over the past 48 hours have just been so terrible to read about. Innocent people, going about their lives, just doing ordinary things like shopping, and having coffee with friends. Lives shattered, torn apart. Families wrecked, never the same again. Our prayers are with them, big time.

Nothing can condone violence like that, nothing can justify what the gunmen did. It's another sign of the mess parts of this world are in. And it's hardly surprising that critics of religion use incidents like this to strengthen their argument that religion is the cause of so many of the world's problems throughout history.

So, as well as prayers for all those impacted by the shootings at the Westgate Mall, my prayers are that from this horrible event, good may come. May this be a catalyst for the Kenyan people coming together more than ever before; for any tribal tensions to be laid aside, for any class-based disagreements to be resolved, for religious harmony to be striven for, and for our Lord of peace and unity to be raised up high.

To all my Kenyan friends - I'm praying for you.

To all my non-Kenyan friends - please join me in praying for Kenya at this time.
