Humboldt Strong - Prayers for Humboldt

Humboldt Strong: Prayers for Humboldt

Many tributes have been given, much has been shared and reflected on since the tragic accident which occurred last week.  It is through these difficult times that we can find solace in God, in prayer and in those around us to give us strength, faith and hope to move forward. 

Jay Smith, better known around town as Smitty Kingston, posted his heartfelt response to the deadly crash involving the team on social media.  On the night of the accident he couldn't sleep — his head and heart were heavy due to tragic accident involving the Humboldt Broncos. So Smith picked up his guitar and expressed his grief in the best way he knew — by writing a song in a poignant tribute to the team and their loved ones. 

He posted this beautiful composition on his Facebook page and it’s been viewed over 1 million times in just a few days. Take a listen by clicking on the link below and you will understand why. Smith said that he's surprised by how far the song has traveled and suggested that if it helps even one person find some solace, then his goal in writing it has been accomplished.

A PRAYER FOR HUMBOLDT

DEAR GOD,

WE PRAY FOR ALL WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY THIS TRAGEDY.

FOR THOSE WHO MOURN, IMMERSE THEM IN YOUR LOVE

AND LEAD THEM THROUGH THIS DARKNESS INTO YOUR ARMS, AND LIGHT.

FOR THOSE WHO COMFORT, BE IN BOTH THE WORDS THEY USE

AND ALL THAT'S LEFT UNSPOKEN; FILL EACH HEART WITH LOVE.

WE ASK THIS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, WHOSE OWN SUFFERING BROUGHT US LIFE,

HERE AND FOR ETERNITY.

AMEN
