Prayers for Manchester—and our world

When bad things happen, it’s difficult not to ask questions like “Why?” and “How?” “Why would someone do something like that?” “How could someone do something like that?” 

On Monday, when an explosion went off at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, I found myself wrestling with those questions all over again. Acts of such cruelty are incomprehensible, and they are calls for our prayers.

Instead of being overwhelmed by the awful behavior we see, we can start rebelling against it.
