Loving God who holds our hand through times of difficulty and pain, we recognise the agony and devastation felt by so many at this difficult time.

As celebration moves to anguish, we pray you will be with those who experienced the scenes of devastation over the weekend.

Comfort those in pain, bring peace to those in turmoil and bring direction to those who are confused.

We lift before you those whose work is not yet complete, the emergency services, the council leaders and the investigation teams. May they work with diligence and wisdom to uncover the reasons behind the events of the weekend and bring closure to the tragedy of the weekend.

We look to Christ, who himself suffered for our sake and we pray all this in his name.

Amen

In Christ,

Geoff Felton
