Yesterday afternoon, former President Donald Trump was shot, but not badly wounded. I decided to respond by exhorting the congregation to pray.
For me, the exhortation to prayer in 1 Timothy 2 provides a much-needed way of escape from the temptation to be anxious about what happened yesterday, along with what appears in every news headline: violent trends in our society, apparent severe corruption in our own governments, and the threat of all kinds of disruptions of the peace and freedom we have enjoyed for so long.
The word of God here teaches us an important part of how we in the household of God deal with such things: we pray!
