Solemn Assembly
Praying for the Hostage Tragedy in the Philippines
Dear Prayer Partners,
In view of the tragedy from the hostage crisis in the Philippines, let us corporately pray for the following:
- We pray that our community will show love and support to those who have lost their loved ones. May God heal their deep wounds, hurts and pain. May God quicken the healing and bring complete recovery to those injured in the shoot-out.
- For our understandable anger, we pray against potential backlash and venting of our frustrations at the wrong targets – the other Filipinos who have done nothing wrong.
- Justice and truth to prevail and that the Philippines government will give the world a detailed explanation of what has happened.
- The Philippines government has to review whether they have been inefficient, lack of effectiveness in law enforcement, poor gun-control measures etc in order for this type of tragedy to be averted in the future.
- Recently there has been reported violence and killings in certain parts of the Philippines. We pray the government will do serious soul searching for it is their basic responsibility to protect the PRECIOUS LIVES of its citizens and its guests.
Richest Blessings to you all,
Linda Ma
Chairperson, Citywide Renewal
