Pray for the family of the shooter, the victims, and those who serve in public safety who are left to shuffle through the shock and must pick up and respond to the next call or next patient coming through the door. The things that hurt us really hurt usbut they are not meaningless. I rely on God's power because I know His love endures. leeduigon MaThough You Slay Me Shane & Shane featuring John Piper Watch on Requested by Joshua: Though You Slay Me, by Shane and Shanewith a snatch of sermon by John Piper. I do not rely on my power because I know it is weak. Lighting a dark area depends on a power source. I know I have a call to be a light in such a dark place. I know I am in it but do not have to become like it. I do not seek understanding as much as I do the realization of the reality of living in a "fallen" world. I do not hide or bury my pain (however expressed) by ignoring it. I have found in my many years in Emergency Medicine, that the only way I could endure the tragedy I witnessed was to find strength through trusting in God. One may release fears, anger, resentment, and loss of control to God. John Piper audio excerpt from The Glory of God in the Sight of Eternity. Most often, in the surrender and submission to the Holy Spirit, we find rest in God. Though You Slay Me Shane & Shane featuring John Piper.
My hope is that you and others seek God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) not so much for answers, but for rest and comfort of the mind, body, and Spirit.
There is no quick remedy in nature to emotional pain and suffering which accompany such tragic events such as witnessed in Las Vegas. Human instinct is to try to "figure out" the "WHY?" during and after such tragic events. We may not understand why tragedy occurs.
