I ask you this in your son''s most precious name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
—Ioely, TX Our sweet Lord in Heaven,
Give us the peace that only you can give as we try to get through this tragedy. Give us the peace that only you can give because of our lack of understanding.

Sweet Jesus, we pray that lives will be touched and they will come to know you as their Lord and Saviour. Grant them the peace and understanding that only you can give.
Amen

—Marian To every precious student and staff member of North Illinois University: The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalms 34:18).
It is my prayer for each of you that you receive His comfort and strength, and we pray for you who do not know him already to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, and that He will be the Lord of your life. No one else can comfort in times like these but the Lord Himself. We hurt with you in the terrible loss of your beloved ones.
—Barbara Dear students and staff of NIU: I am so sorry for your loss and pray that God will give you the comfort that only He can give. I know that it is not the same thing, but back in 1970 we lost most of our football team, coaches and community members in a horrific plane class. So, please remember that there are people here in WV and at Marshall University that care for you and are praying for you. God Bless each and every one of you.
—Connie, WV Oh heavenly Father, Abba Father, you alone can take all the pain and fear away!!! Touch each and every person affected by this terrible tragety and heal and uplift them.

We thank You for providing strength and guidance to all those that were effected by this tragedy. Please show everyone involved that You are able to help them through anything in their lives.
Remembering everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
May God bless you all now and always.
—Kimberly, FL Dear Lord Jesus,
Pour out your mercy, wisdom, comfort and strength on those who are suffering during this difficult time.
Give courage to the college president, John Peters, that he may step up and out to offer the reason for our hope, and that is in you, Lord, who holds the universe in your hands and you, Oh Lord, who has created all things, whether things above, or things below, all things are under your watchful eye.
I pray, almighty, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, that what Satan intended for evil, you would turn out for good and for your glory.
I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
—Judy, CA Merciful Father: God of all comfort: Send your ministering
angels to minister to all those who are hurting and grieving for loved ones, friends and family. May your perfect will be accomplished in each life as they consider

—Linda, OH Father, i lift up to You all of the people that have been affected by the tragedy at NIU. Guide president John Peters as he continues to seek Your face in bringing about restoration to the campus. Comfort the hearts of all the family members and friends of those who lost their lives in the shooting. Draw each sorrowing heart to the Cross of Christ to find a peace that passes our understanding. Bring healing to the injured who survived the shooting. As a result of this tragedy, may You receive the glory as people care for one another. May the mighty name of Jesus Christ be lifted up in the days to come. In His wonderful Name i pray. Amen
—Gail, GA Heavenly Father - would you take each one affected in this shooting and wrap them in your loving arms. Help them to experience the peace that passes human understanding and comfort them in their loss. Would you someone in each of their lives who will hold them, allow them to melt and still feel safe, speak words of hope and assurance of your love to them. Would you bind up the enemy lurking in their midst and guard their hearts and minds from hate and bitterness. Would you bring to justice any who may have been resposible for allowing or provoking this to happen. Erase visions of horror and give them peaceful sleep. I pray for the parents of those that died, Lord. My heart just aches for them.
—Vicki Father God, my heavenly Father, I know that you are ''the mighty healer'',and right now I claim healing over every injured body. Touch and give peace to every family member, student, staff, any person that is linked to this tragedy. Oh God, send your love their way. Let them know that they are not alone and that there are people praying them through this, near and far. I declare that all of these prayers are so. And it is in the powerful name of JESUS that I do pray and say, Amen.
—Moni, IL Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed art thou amoung women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

—Barb, AK Just a note to say that I have been and am praying for the families and friends affected by this tradegy, as well as the whole NIU campus and the Dekalb region. May the Lord God, who gives us all life, bring His peace, comfort, and presence to your hearts.
in the name of Jesus
Mike
—Mike, ID My heart, love, prayers, and support go to all those affected by this horrific tragedy.
—Rachel, FL May the Lord comfort and bless you during this time in your lives. Just continue to seek him and you will find him where you are. My heart breaks for you tradegy.
—Teresa, TX Heavenly Lord, we know why there is evil in our world. You gave us the freedom of thoughts, words, and actions. Almost all of us chose to control so many horrible thoughts and images, evil deeds and despicable actions. But, Lord, there are a few individuals that have gotten caught up in evil. Their hearts have turned to stone. Their minds corrupt with horrible ideas. Medication or not, they are bent on hurting others.
Please Lord, protect the students of Northern Illinois University from further harm by such individuals. Please give them comfort and protection, dear Lord.
Lastly, help the weaker ones of our society so that would not lash out, Lord. Help them deal with their inner devils.
In Jesus''s name,
Amen.
—Ford, AZ Our Heavenly Father: Thankyou for the priviledge of being able to come to you on our knees in prayer. Father it is hard to understand why these awful deaths happen. More than likely this poor man did''t know you, or perhaps he was just a tool in taking these people home.please give the families the strength through the Holy Spirit to understand and endure this awful pain.May they find their way to you Father and know the Joy of leaning on you in times as these, whether its shootings,accidents,or storms of life whatever they may be in the name of our Lord Jesus. We love you Lord and Praise Thy Holy name.Ladybird13

God Bless you!
—C, MD Dear Heavenly Father,
We come to you with heavy hearts of sadness and ask for you to lift us up and hold us. We know that you feel our pain and see our tears. We pray for the families and friends of those who lost their precious lives. We also pray for the gunman and his family who took his own life.
We ask why? and wonder how can this happen?
Only you know Lord and we must trust that only good will come from such a terrible tradgy. May we learn to trust you and praise you for your blessings that you have shown us.

—Jaime, KY DEAR HEVENLY FATHER I ASK THAT YOU CONFORT THOSE WHO LOST LOVED ONES IN THIS TRAGIC TIME IN JESUS NAME I ASK AMEN
—Johnny, KY Lord, we pray for the family of the shooter. Their sorrow is great, not only for those who were shot, but for their loved one who committed the shooting. Was this the work of a demonic being in the shooter? The Devil is alive and well in our society. Drugs and false teachings lead many to sacrifice others as well as themselves.
—The Rev. Dr. Francis E., WA I pray that this tragic incident puts people on notice that there is an evil force trying to rob us of our children, called the devil. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy. The only way we can defeat him is to submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee.
Prayer is the warfare we use to stop him (it changes things), faith is the sheild we use to protect our government and families, the Word of God is the weapon we use to destroy his schemes.
Christians reunite and take notice of this end time generation which needs our prayers. They are rallying at schools now, we need to help hold up their arms '.....which is our reasonable service'.
My heartfelt prayers go out to all
—Pastor Cathy Eternal rest unto them O LOrd, may perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls rest in peace.
—Georgette, FL DEar Students,
YOu have my prayers as I think of the terrible situation last week. I attended NIU in the early 70''s and know it is a great school. May the God of all comfort each of you and may you be encouraged each day as we pray for your campus.

—Irene, AK Gracious Lord:
we pray for the victims and their families who have suffered injury and loss in this senseless tragedy. Surround these precious people with Your perfect love, increase their faith and trust in You, Lord. Comfort those who are hurt, surround them with godly caregivers, family and friends to minister to them and heal them Lord. Let us remember the lives of those who were taken and those who have been injured, may they be honored as the saints they are. We commit them to Your loving care, we ask this all in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
—Ck, TX May God''s love and strength surround you all. Know that others are praying for you.

—Donna, CA To Our LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST: You are the master physician and healer of our souls and bodies. I lift up the people at Northern Illinois University into Your Loving Arms.

We love and grieve for them because You loved us first!
—Mark J., NY Father in Jesus name, I pray that the spirt of violence that has been running rampant in America be dealt with at the roots. I pray that all watchmen will stay on the walls in their homes, churches, families, communities, schools, government and nation. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted by the Holy Spirit(Matthew 5:4). Father in Jesus name, send your spirit to comfort all that have been involved in this tragedy! In Jesus name, Amen!
—Evangelist Artherrine, TN Heavenly Father,
Through Jesus I offer my prayer on behalf of all those who have been touched in a hurting or devastating way by the tragedy of this shooting incident at Northern Illinois University. Suffering is severe for those who have lost loved ones and for those who are dealing with physical and/or emotional wounds as a result of this unleashing of violence upon innocent people who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I pray You would not let these deaths and wounds be in vain. Show the hurting Your amazing ability to in a miraculous way turn evil to good. Give a breakthrough of knowledge in mental health combined with knowledge of campus security so that this incident may be the one that brings to a halt future occurences of this nature. Please comfort the family of the shooter as they not only deal with the death of their son but also have to process what he did and any guilt they may feel about it. Please help all the students and faculty to be able to put this behind them so they can quickly get back to the work of education. Please put in place spiritual advisors who can help students and others draw close to You, God, for the comfort You have available for all of them and let them know that the hearts of our nation are with them in their grief and sadness. Through Jesus, Amen
—Janice, GA Father God, In the Name of Jesus,

I touch and agree with the prayers that are being sent up to You Lord, and I am thanking You now, Lord, that it is done. These things I decree and declare in Your Son''s precious Name. Amen
—Barbara, IN To everyone affected by this tragedy,
I pray that God will comfort you and help you know that He is always with you and will never leave you. I pray that those injured will have full and complete recoveries. I pray for comfort for the families who lost loved ones. Also, I pray for the Lord''s protection around our schools to keep students from doing evil to each other. I pray for students who need help to be able to communicate that in appropriate ways to get help. And I pray for Jesus to come soon so that we do not have these things happen again.
—Kathy Scripture always helps at times like these. One verse which has always given me strength is from II Timothy 1:7. Our Lord is sufficient.
—Linda L., AR Dearest Heavenly Father:
Comfort your children and their families in this sad time. May You be their strength and love and hope. Give us all the words to console those who are suffering.
—Dalena God to bless each family of the dead and injured. Sad day for the students, faculty and families. Pray for spiritual revival on the campus of NIU.
—Ryan, CA May the love of God surround you and uplift you in this most difficult time.
—Suzette, NE My thoughts and prayers are with the students, professors, friends and family members that have been affected by this horrible tradegy. We need to love one another and stop all this crime in the U.S.A. Life is precious.
—Debbie, TX Father God, We are your children and need your comfort and peace. Console those who need consolation and bring peace to those who need their world to come back into focus. Our focus should have been you and your will all along. Forgive us and restore us to yourself. In Jesus'' name.
—Jean Our Dear Heavenly Father,

In the matchless name of Jesus we pray.
—Diana, LA Father God, I pray that you would send your Holy Spirit to the friends and families who have been effected by this tragedy to comfort and lead them through this time.

Help them to know that you are present, but that the evil one is always looking for an opportunity to attack.

—Nicky I ask the God of all comfort to bring comfort and strength to the students and facutly of this university and to all the loved ones who have been touched by the loss of their loved ones. I ask that God would reveal to all His love, His power and strength in this hour. It is written, Satan has come to rob, to steal, to kill, and to destroy (he is the real enemy) but Jesus has come to bring life and life abundantly. Every good and every perfect gift comes from above from the Father of lights. In His favor is life and all who look to Him, to Jesus, will have life and He will restore all that the enemy has tried to destroy. My prayer is for the grace of our God and Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ to be poured out upon all who have suffered physical, mental and emotional pain and that the lives of all will be able to let go of any fear, grief or pain that would hold them captive to this terrible tragedy. I pray for grace to be poured out on each one that will enable all to move forward and that all may come to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. I care and our God who is all loving and all sufficient cares deeply about you. Keep your eyes upon Him and He will lift you up.

Send your healing balm to the hurt and wounded, and carry those who are too weak to carry on themselves. In Jesus'' Name, Amen.

—Christine, NC My heart is heavy for all those who have been affected by this shooting. The first instinct is to go somewhere and bury my head in the sand and say this hasn''t happened again. Unfortunately, this approach will not do anyone any good. I want to stand up in the spirit and join others in prayer to come against yet another attack on America''s youth. Our covering is and has always been the Lord, our shield and protector. I come against satan and his demon forces in the powerful name of Jesus. Father, build a hedge around the UI campus and pour your anointing oil to soothe the hearting families, students and the surrounding communities. Father, comfort the family of the shooter who must be under tremendous pressure at this time. They have lost their son too. Father, we don't know how you will turn this tragedy into something positive....but we know that only you 'can'. In Jesus name....the name above all names. Amen ( I live in Jamaica)
—Sarah, No Dear LORD:
Comfort the entire school, parents, sibblings, community as they work through this tragic time. Let them know you are with them. In Jesus name I pray. Ameb
—Barbara, FL Father God,
Help us to remember that it times like these we can depend on You and Your Word to help and strengthen us.

Please be with the family of the shooter and the families of the victims. Help everyone realize how important knowing and believing in Your son is. Our lives are like a vapor and I am so glad when my life is over I will be able to spend eternity with YOU! Thank You for hearing my prayer
In Jesus Name, Amen
—Rebecca, MO I am praying that The Lord will bring a 'Josiah' as the next President of the United States of America. That The Lord will uplift and encourage 'him' to bring our nation back to The Lord. We MUST vote and pray that God will convict Christian''s hearts to vote for a 'Godly' man!
—Jan, OH Dear Heavenly Father, we decry this senseless act of violence at NIU, and plead the blood of Jesus to cover the sin and hurt and death perpetrated against humanity there this week at NIU. Where there is hurt may your HEALING prevail, where there is death may the COMFORT of your PRESENCE abide, where there is conflict may your PEACE take residence in their hearts. May each and every student, and NIU family member, student''s family and loved ones take comfort in the GOD of ALL COMFORT, be STRENGTHENED by HIS ALL POWERFUL AND BENEVOLENT HAND and know that HE IS AN EVER-PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF TROUBLE. JESUS UNDERSTANDS OUR PAIN AND HEARTACHES AS HE WENT THROUGH MORE THAN ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING when HE WENT TO THE CRUEL CROSS AND TOOK OUR PLACE THAT WE MIGHT HAVE PEACE WITH GOD AND A PLACE IN HIS KINGDOM FOREVER WHEN WE DIE. We pray all this in the precious name that is above every other name, the name of JESUS. A-MEN!
—Joan, FL I grew up in Cary, Illinois, and have a daughter in college in Oregon. My prayer is as follows:
Lord, please be with the families of those that were killed by this lost soul. Please bring those that were injured to a full physical and spiritual healing. I pray Lord that through this tragic act, people will find you as the only way to get over it. I know Lord that because we live in a fallen world, we have to suffer consequences of the sin that satan has tricked this world into believing but you Lord, will not allow us more than we can handle. I also know Lord because of what you have allowed to happen in my life that sometimes it is through tragic circumstances that we find you and to this day, I thank you for every trial I have had to overcome because it has brought me to an incredible relationship with you. May we Lord, the parents of this generation, change our ways and see how important it is to instill Christian beliefs in our children and to let them know how important they are in our lives instead of working too much to provide them with material things, when all they really need is our love and attention. I pray Lord for comfort over those that attend NIU and that they will cast away any fear of returning to classes trusting you Lord to keep them safe. I ask all these things Lord in your mighty, powerful, compassionate, and eternal name, Amen

My prayer is that those involved in the incident wheather it be those who were injured, those who witnessed it or those who were called to the scene to secure it and to help the injured and those that were at the receiving hospital that had to treat the injured and those who were/will be called in to councel the students and teachers, that you will just lean on Jesus, he will carry you through this. don't be afraid to let the tears roll and the heart ache because that is all a part of the healing process.
May each of you find comfort in one another, talk about this, don't keep it bottled up. Satan has a way to make people miserable by encouraging them to keep their feeling to themselves. don't let Saten have any joy from this incident. May God Keep You Safe from this point forward.
—Roxann, KY Jesus, I ask for comfort and mercy to all affected; please Jesus rebuke Satan''s hold on these innocent ones; please help the victims and the assaulter; bless colleges and all the heads of security and the great physician who supply all of our medicines to keep us in the right frame of mind.

Protect the innocent young people from these acts of violence and senseless killings that seem to be becoming an all too frequent happening in our communities. Help us to get back to the basics of what it means to be a Christian, a true follower of Jesus Christ, to not just reach out to those hurting around us, but to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to all we come in contact with. To be the light and salt that Jesus wants us to be to a hurting world. In doing this, maybe we can make a difference in this nation and this world that seems to be getting darker and darker every day. The light of Christ will cut through any darkness, so it is my prayer that we are that light, and that by reflecting that light to those around us, maybe these senseless, violent acts will become fewer and fewer. Please be with the people of NIU at this time. May we all find comfort and hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. In HIS name. Amen

forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who have sinned against us(we we remember your kindness to us and extend the same grace to others who have fallen)
lead us not into temptation,(unforgiveness,bitterness, hatred)
but deliver us from evil,(the kingdom of darkness already lost at the cross, help us believe and declare it)
for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
forever,(you are greater, Lord, and in control.

—Michelle, IL You are in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers!
—Mr., TX Heavenly Father,
It seems so senseless and we cannot understand the ways of this world, nor could we understand when Your Son, too, was not accepted but rejected by the evil in this world. In times of instability and incomprehension Father, we can only turn to You because we know that even in tragedy, You can turn the situation into triumph. We pray that You and Your Presence will infiltrate the hearts of this nation and that we will give You our fears, our heartaches, and our questions, and ask that You heal our hearts and give us receptive minds to hear Your Voice in the midst of this heartache. Bring peace of mind and healing to the families, which have been directly affected. Let all Christians arise and use this time to proclaim to the world that as a people, we have no righteousness...righteousness is available only in Your Son and in our coming to Him in a personal relationship. Let us give aid, help, and love to the many, who are hurting. Grant us peace, Father God.
In Your Son,
Amen
