Re: your prayer for the parent
It was so refreshing to hear you pray for the parents of the shooter/s. I seldom hear that. If they have a sense of decency, especially if they are believers, the devastation is overwhelming––at the least over the horror that one's own child would commit such an atrocity and over grief and longing for redemption and restoration for the child. Parents are facing the possibly permanent loss of the child in a prolonged progression, the endurance of an extremely stressful legal process, personal and public shame, and much more. They need and will continue to need biblical counsel from a local, Bible-centered church. I pray that the shooters/murderers will repent to trust Jesus and that the parents will turn to God and a biblical church will walk with them through this.
