The tragic events in Aurora, CO has once again put our country in a state of mourning. As people we try to wrap our minds around the "why", it saddens and frustrates us when the answers don't come. Lose of life is always hard to deal with but when it's brought on by such an evil tragedy it makes it even more difficult to accept. We are reminded our fragile and precious life is. We are pushed to hug our loved ones a little more. We strive to not take life for granted but to maximize each moment.
It is during our lowest moments of despair that our faith is tested and we look to God for the answers. Some may question Him (His Word), some may doubt, some may get angry and some may even walk away from Him. But He has given us all we need to charter through these difficult waters, His Word and Holy Spirit. It's time that Believers come together, unify and strengthen our brothers and sisters through prayer as they go through their time of bereavement.
