The three hostages are all trained mental health professionals too. I just read that there are also 40 employees who are sheltering in place with law enforcement personnel in a room adjoining where the hostages are being held. That must mean there’s no safe exit for those 40 people either? Still reading that negotiators haven’t been able to make contact with the gunman or the hostages.
Prayers for the safety of everyone involved.
I’m going to pray right here....so if folks aren’t the praying type scroll on please.....
Lord God,
We come to you with this veteran and all those surrounding him and this happening....we ask that you give those speaking to him and with him your wisdom, understanding and the tools to bring him safely to his senses. Keep those trying to help steady and in perfect timing to your will and purposes in this...and bring all safely out of this situation very soon.
We thank you that you are no stranger to those in distress...and that of mind as well as heart...’Be’ for all what they need now and throughout this time until it passes.
In your name,
Amen.
