Some have shared this clip already on social media. It maybe strange to us that a media organisations would be concerned that those of other faiths or no faith, would be offended by this generous prayer.

International Suicide Survivors' Day

22 November 2015

Yesterday was international suicide survivors day. When a suicide happens in a family, community, school or within a peer group a whole selection of people have to try and survive that tragic loss of life.

Thank God for groups who walk alongside them, giving brilliant appropriate support.

Maybe in our prayers of intercessions today we could remember this group of people asking God to minister His grace to all touched by the horror of suicide.
