Two of the teens in my Christian Science Sunday School class were crying as we talked about the most recent school shooting, at a high school in Florida. Many in my class said they’d prayed when they saw the news alert on their phone, but still felt helpless, discouraged, and sad.

“What are we supposed to do?” one wondered.

I’ve had her voice echoing in my head ever since that class, and here’s my answer: Keep praying, and know that your prayers are making a difference.
