A prayer following the attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue. 🙏

God our refuge and strength,
close at hand in our distress;
meet us in our sorrow and lift our eyes
to the peace and light of your constant care.
Help us so to hear your word of grace
that our fear will be dispelled by your love.
Amen.
