UK: praying for Paris must be more than an afterthought

As the world mourns with the people of France because of the devastation from these insidious attacks, let us engage in sincere, specific and faith-filled prayer for the healing of the victims. The road ahead for those who have been wounded is long. The road for those who have lost loved ones is even longer. As the personal stories of victims begin to emerge over the coming days and weeks, we can stop for just a moment and pray for the person by name. Ask that, if they have a faith in the Lord, it will be renewed; and pray that, if they are without a relationship with Jesus, the Holy Spirit will lead them into one. We Christians know that the only way to experience true healing from such trauma is through knowing Jesus. Let’s not pray generally for healing but - as much as we are able - pray for people by name.
