from Cedric: Prayers for the Boston Marathon Tragedy

This is from Cedric, and we all share his sentiments as we are shocked and saddened by the events of this morning at the Boston Marathon. Thank you for your prayers and God bless us all, Teri & Michael (see below)

Hi Michael and Teri,    I'm asking all of our Prayer Warriors to join me in praying for the victims who   were killed or injured in the explosions at the Boston Marathon today. Pray that    God's grace will cover the dozens of victims being treated for horrific injuries   at local hospitals and for the families who are devastated by the loss of their   loved ones. It appears at this point that the explosions were intentionally set   which would mark a very dark day for what has historically been a joyful and   exciting tradition. I'm also praying for the safety of our nation from those who   have the intent to harm us.    Your Brother in Christ,    Cedric    
In Loving Memory
Almighty God, through the death of Your Son on the cross, You have overcome death for us. Through his burial 
  and resurrection from the dead You have made the grave a holy place and restored us to eternal life. We pray 
  for those who died believing in Jesus and are buried with him in the hope of rising again. God of the living and 
  the dead, may those who faithfully believed in You on earth praise You forever in the joy of heaven. We ask 
  this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
