Lament for a broken society
Another mass shooting. Another round of hand ringing. No more solutions. There are the empty promises. A governor who swears they are doing more for “mental health”… without offering any proof.

My current intercession
I have been challenged to ask boldly in prayer. This is my current intercession:

Deep groaning needs to happen
Another weekend, another shooting. A teen party in a small town in Alabama. Four dead. Louisville. Nashville. It’s exhausting. I know we get tired of hearing “thoughts and prayers.” I get tired because I know people are now saying it… and not even doing it for the victims.
