This is the 3rd massacre that has happened since President Trump has taken office, and Thursday morning, he came forward addressing the nation with heartfelt words of comfort.

“In times of tragedy, the bonds that sustain us are those of family, faith, community, and country. These bonds are stronger than the forces of hatred and evil – and these bonds grow even stronger in the hours of our greatest need.” 

We are all joined together as one American family and your suffering is our burden also,” the president said. (VIDEO BELOW)

Our President is not afraid to speak about Jesus Christ while addressing the nation.

He quoted scripture saying, “In these moments of heartache and darkness we hold on to God’s Word in Scripture. ‘I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you.’ We trust in that promise, and we hold fast to our fellow Americans in their time of sorrow.”

The President also expressed a personal message for children.

“I want to speak now directly to America’s children, especially those who feel lost, alone, confused, or even scared. I want you to know that you are never alone and you never will be. You have people who care about you, who love you, and who will do anything at all to protect you. If you need help, turn to a teacher, a family member, a local police officer, or a faith leader.”

President Trump ordered flags to be flown at half-staff until sunset Monday, saying in a statement: “Our Nation grieves with those who have lost loved ones in the shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.”

Please pray.
