Dear Heavenly Father,

God, I lift up Jason Coffman to you.  The father of Cody Coffman who was murdered in the Thousand Oaks shooting.  I just watched Jason at a press conference and you could feel his pain through the screen.  God, he loved his son and he is hurting now like never before.  God I pray that you would strengthen him right now in the name of Jesus.  Supernatural strength and unexplainable joy in you blankets his life now.  My God – his pain is so real and tragic and I know it’s a pain only you can heal.  Only you can touch, only you can render a balm to it.  So God, that’s my prayer.  Cover him God, heal his heart.  Give him that gift called grace right now and help him to stand strong in you.  God, there are no words right now but HELP.  God I pray that you heal his hurting heart and all of the family members and friends of Cody.  God, they have lost a jewel in the earth and they need peace and grace for the journey ahead.  Help God.  For the families of the other people who were murdered last night God, I pray for their parents and siblings and friends and anyone who had the joy of knowing them.  God please blanket that town and those families with peace and hope for the journey.  I submit them all to your hand and care. Have mercy on them all please God.  In Jesus name!  Amen!
