Prayers for Texas: Navigating Tragedy with Faith · HAVE FAITH LET IT BEGIN®

• 0:08
  Good morning. My name is Angel. I'm the host of Have Faith, Let It Begin.
• 0:14
  As I was away on vacation, I turned on the TV and like all of you,
• 0:19
  witnessed the tragedy that occurred in Texas.
• 0:24
  The Texas flooding that kills over a hundred people and the surge continues on.
• 0:30
  At least 104 people were killed in the central Texas flash flooding that began
• 0:35
  early on the morning of 4th of July.
• 0:39
  And of course, the sad and horrific Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas.
• 0:45
  It's mourning the loss of over 27 campers and counselors.
• 0:50
  And as of yesterday, 10 campers and one counselor remain missing.
• 0:58
  How do we pray about something like this how do we talk about something like this.
• 1:07
  No parent should ever have to bury their children no one should have to endure
• 1:14
  that type of pain and horror and uncertainty,
• 1:21
  the only thing that my faith will allow me to say and trust in is that God was
• 1:28
  with them in their hour of need and that he brought them home and that none of them suffered,
• 1:36
  that none of them felt anything but joy as they were being lifted up into the heavens.
• 1:44
  That's what my faith tells me and that is the God that I serve.
• 1:49
  That is the God that I believe in.
• 1:52
  But how do you tell that to any individual that doesn't have faith,
• 1:56
  or the families that are mourning the loss and wondering why God, in their minds.
• 2:01
  Music.
• 3:17
  I do pray that God does everything in his possible power to stop the rain,
• 3:24
  to give the search and rescue teams an opportunity to find the missing children,
• 3:30
  the missing adults, so that families can have closure.
• 3:36
  On behalf of all of us here at Have Faith, let it begin. We're praying for Texas.
• 3:42
  We're praying for the children. We're praying for their parents.
• 3:46
  We're praying for loved ones.
• 3:48
  We're praying for our first responders and Marines and National Guards that
• 3:52
  are out there doing what they can to find those that are missing.
• 3:59
  May God be with you. May he shine his light upon you and grant each and every
• 4:03
  single one of you peace on earth.
• 4:05
  And we'll never forget to have faith and let it begin.
• 4:10
  I just hope and pray we don't have to do any more episodes like this.
• 4:14
  It's too painful. See you tomorrow.
