Maybe if We All Prayed Together for the Little Boy in the Bunker . . .

[MentorMom1]

Maybe, if we all prayed this morning, right now, today -- to any God or Higher Power you choose, if only for 30 seconds-- that  . .

Young Ethan in that frightening underground hell-hole, will feel peace, and the knowledge that that he is loved, and not give up hope.

Ethan's mother will know that so many surround her in spirit, give their emotional support, and stand by her in solidarity against senseless violence.

Old Dyke, blistering with anger, fear and hatred, will realize the boy is just an innocent, has done nothing to hurt him, and give himself up.

All the emergency responders will maintain their composure and act with rational thought to bring this grievous standoff to an end.

Maybe, if we all prayed . . .

Thank you for understanding my intent. It's about the boy. Not religion. I can imagine Ethan inside that bunker, being afraid and wanting his parents. I read that he asked for Cheez-Its and a red a little red Hot Wheels car. I can imagine the police outside, trying to be calm and negotiate his safe return, and his distraught parents.

I think about the kidnapper, Dykes, and his mental illness. What did he want with the boy? Now he knows he's going to prison and it will be for the rest of his life. I am praying he knows the boy did nothing to harm him, and lets him go free. I wonder why he wanted a boy this age. Ithink perhaps Dykes suffered a horrible childhood, maybe ongoing trauma when he was about Ethan's age. What happened to him that made him despise himself and others?   

I send them all my thoughts and prayers for a positive outcome to this horribly sad crime.

 Thank you for posting this. I thank the OP for posting this post.. I believe in God. I believe in postitve energy. It is shocking and shameful that a little boy held by someone deranged is turned into thisA flipping religious post..Send prayers, or positve thoughts. We are moms on here! This is a child! Sit down and shut up if you want to turn it religious. You KNEW it was religious when the OP posted it. ENOUGH negitivity. Lets all pray for that boy, under any God you pray to, or send postive energy. If that was my child, I don't know what I would do. Shocking. We can make a difference through prayer and sending positive energy.
