Helpless

I see the flattened homes, crumbled schools, piled up cars, and tear lined faces and I wonder how I could make a difference from so far away. This is Oklahoma but it is also Syria, sub-Saharan Africa, and Afghanistan.  So I do what matters most -- I pray knowing I am a drop in a larger ocean of prayers offering courage for first responders, hope for refuges, strength for parents who face the unthinkable loss, and healing for broken hearts. I know prayer makes it possible for us to reach out in love when all we feel is crippling helplessness. So pray dear friends and do so with the faith of a child.
