Pray for those who can do something

The deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida, was the 18th this year. We all prayed for the students, the victims and their families, and thanked the people who helped at this very sad time. Now we should turn our prayers for the people that have the power to bring about a solution. Pray for our lawmakers, gun manufacturers and gun owners to come to an understanding and agreement so that this type of tragedy can be circumvented. Most of all, pray that our president who has the power to bring about change has the victims in his thoughts and heart.
