An assassination attempt on a former US President who is a current presidential candidate. One rally participant and the shooter killed; others injured. What a horrible headline to read; what unforgettable, unsettling images we’ve seen. This is a time for Christians to pray—to intercede on behalf of our nation. To beg for God’s mercy and to plead for His protection for all candidates and leaders, especially as we begin party conventions and move ever closer to the fall election.
The assassination attempt on President Trump is frightening. There’s no hiding from that truth. This is a sad but important teachable moment for parents as they try to explain this incident to their children. May God give us all the grace we need to respond in a God-honoring way.
