Church bombs

Yesterday, Palm Sunday, was the start of Holy Week with Easter 2017 only a week away. Our family went to church without any fear. Egyptian Christians were at church too - but 43 of them were killed there. Islamic State says they did it and promises more of the same.

The dead were not the only victims of the bombings at two churches. There were 78 injured people whose lives are now changed - those who lost a limb or an eye, or who will lose the employment that supported their family. 

Prayer:  Father God, we ask your provision and comfort for those who are suffering today because of these bombings. Show your people how to protect themselves from the evil that is directed toward them.
