A Prayer following the Southport dance class stabbing

We pray for all the victims of the horrifying incident in Southport yesterday. We pray for the families of those who have been killed - we pray that they will feel God close to them in their grief. We pray for the injured and their families, for all those who witnessed the incident and the aftermath. We pray for those who are caring for the injured and bereaved and all those caught up in the events of the day. God meet our fears and distress with your peace.

Prayer shared by Mrs Carolyn Godfrey, Vice- President of the Methodist Conference
