Heavenly Father,
With sorrowful hearts, we lift up to You the victims of the recent shooting in Zamboanga City and across the Philippines. Lord, comfort the grieving families, heal the wounded, and strengthen the communities shaken by violence.
We especially pray for our young people, protect their hearts and minds from fear, despair, and the snares of evil. Guard them with Your light, and guide them toward hope, wisdom, and peace.
May our leaders and communities be moved to act with compassion and justice, so that violence may be replaced with unity and love.
Lord, shield us all from harm, and let Your presence be our refuge.

We are deeply saddened by what has been happening among our young people, the struggles, the pain, and the growing challenges they face in todayβs world.
Let us not turn away, but instead open our hearts and hands to guide, protect, and uplift them. Our youth deserve hope, safety, and understanding.
May we all be instruments of compassion and light, helping them find strength and purpose amid the noise and darkness.
