Salt + Light Family,

It is with a heavy heart that I come to you in light of the devastating assassination of Charlie Kirk in our state and specifically at UVU’s campus. As a church, I’m asking that we all join together and pray. 

“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

Join me in this prayer: 

God we need grace and mercy to fall upon our state. We lift up Charlie’s family– please comfort them in these terrible moments. We pray that you comfort all those at UVU and in Orem.

Your word says, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”  (Psalm 34:18)

We pray that the perpetrator be brought to justice swiftly. We lift up CenterPoint Church to you and all their staff who are at the epicenter of this tragedy. Give them wisdom as they counsel many who are streaming into the church seeking comfort and guidance. 

We pray that you will use what the enemy means for evil– into good. Bring revival to our land, Lord Jesus! We hope that this tragedy will lead many people to the truth of who Jesus is. We pray for the salvation of our city, state, and nation! We ask for the Holy Spirit to move and to lead us at Salt + Light to be ambassadors of your good news. 

In Jesus name, Amen

Thank you!

Pastor Nate Fox
