An American Prayer | On the Fourth Sunday Following a Killing Spree

IV.
Patient and enduring God,

One week has passed in silence 

since we sought a clear word from you 

on gun violence.

With that week passed also

130 of your children, 

dead from gunshots 

along American streets and 

within American homes. 

How long Lord? 

How long must 
we wait 

for you 

to act?
