Whenever tragedy strikes, no matter the scale, I find it difficult to form verbal prayers to God. Sometimes all I can do is sit and incline my heart in silence toward the One who knows all and is all, knowing that he hears what I cannot voice—questions, confusions, sympathies, and pleas.

May God’s Spirit be with all those affected by today’s events.
