This past week was HEAVY.
Here's an article from psychologist Dr. Neha Chaudhary on talking with your kids about what happened this week.
The following is a prayer from the Book of Common Prayer for the country that could also be used.
Show us your very, O Lord; and grant us your salvation. Clothe your ministers with righteousness; Let your people sing with joy. Give peace, O Lord, in all the world; For only in you can we live in safety. Lord, keep this nation under your care; and guide us in the way of justice and truth. Let your way be known upon the earth; your saving health among all nations. Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten; nor the hope of the poor be taken away. Create in us clean hearts, O God; and sustain us with your Holy Spirit. O God, you have bound us together in a common life, help us in the midst of our struggles for justice and truth, to confront one another without hatred or bitterness and to work together with mutual forbearance and respect; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
