Virginia Tech Students
Students of Virginia Tech and Blacksburg Residents.


A prayer for those on the campus of Virginia Tech and the citizens of Blacksburg, Virginia.

Heavenly Father, I pray that you would grant protection and safety to the students and faculty at Virginia Tech. Replace the anxiety and fear which beset them with your perfect peace. Bless every student, university official and police officer who led the campus through this tragedy. Comfort the families of Ryan Clark, G.V. Loganathan, Liviu Librescu, Ross Alameddine and Matthew La Porte who were victims of this ruthless crime and the families of those victims whose names have yet to be released. Bring restoration of peace to Blacksburg, Virginia and envelop the city and the campus in your loving arms. Although we dislike violence and those that commit violent acts, we lift up a prayer for the shooter, Cho Seung-Hui. In his death may he rest in the peace he couldn't find on earth. Help the victim's families to remember the blessed time they had on this earth and help them to forgive Seung-Hui. Send your angels of protection and comfort all around the campus and the city. We count it all as done, Amen.

In the name of Allah ta ala

Ya Allah, guide us on the straight path, and deliver us from Satan and the inclinations of our own hearts. We beg that you protect the meek, and destroy the unjust.

Ya Allah! Ya Rabi Allameen! Ya Allah! Ideenhas Sirat al Mustaqueem!
Oh Allah! Oh lord of the universe! Oh lord! Guide us on the straight path!

La Ilaha Illallahu wa Allahu Ackbar
There is no deity besides Allah and Allah is most great!

O God Almighty, Loving Father to Us All, Please bless Your children in this tragedy---the dozens who died, including the gunman, to find peace and love with You; those who mourn them, and who have senselessly lost their loved ones; and all those, in and outside of this town, who are shocked and saddened by this. Please be with them all, God, and help us to make the most of this tragedy, and prevent more from occurring. Please bless all, and thank You for all, even in times of darkness and evil;

In Your Holy Name,

Amen.

Heavenly Father,

This tragedy has not come as a surprise to You as it did to us. Therefore we bow to Your Sovereignty and acknowledge that You are ultimately in control, even of this evilness. We know You didn't cause it because there is no wickedness in You. We ask that You bring peace and comfort to the whole community of Blacksburg, VA. We ask for you to heal those that have been injured. Please bring comfort to all those families that are receiving the news of their loved one's fate. I pray that You would bring good out of all this evilness. I especially pray for the gunman's family. They are not only experiencing the grief over losing a loved one but also the anger of their community and country. Please bring them special comfort during this time. In Jesus Name, Amen

Dear Mother, Please be the strength of heart for these families who have lost their children. Fortify them and comfort them that they may know you in this, their hour of need and take sustenance from your provision against the trials of this earth. Remind us all, O Divine Lady, that this life is passing and our true joy will be in walking with you in the Summerlands. Help the families to see that while they are seperated now from their loved ones, that it is only temporary and - at the end of their short earthly days - they will also walk into your presence and be greeted by those that have gone before them. Sweet Mother, help us to help those who need us and to reassure them - with words, with companionship and with prayer - that you love them, that you do not turn your back on any of your children, and that you have brought their loved ones into the eternal and blessed Summerlands. Blessed Be.

Hear my cry, O God;
attend to my prayer.
From the end of the Earth I will cry to You,
When my heart if overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For You have been a shelter for me,
A strong tower from the enemey.
I will abide in Your Tabernacle forever;
I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.
For You, O God, have heard my vows;
You have given me the heritage of those who fear Your Name.
You will prolong the king's life,
His years as many generations.
He shall abide before God Forever.
Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him!
So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may daily perform my vows.
-Psalm 61
