Prayer casting off darkness...

Father God…Breath on our nation from shore to shore, O LORD! You make all things new and are the one who restores. We ask you to begin restoring our mourning nation even before the tears dry on our faces.

We lift up to you the families of the victims in the Newtown, Connecticut (USA) murderous rampage shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Twenty children, eight boys and 12 girls, all six or seven years old, and six adults were shot multiple times by a lone gunman.

Spirit of death and spirit of depression be gone in the name of JESUS. We pray healing strength to come over this community, and over these families, and our entire grieving country. Comfort us all, strengthen us, and turn what the evil one intended for bad into good.

We cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light leaning on you JESUS.  May your mighty ways reign in this land as evil departs us. In Jesus name. Amen!

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” ~ Romans 12:21 (NKJV).
