Scripture: Psalm 34:19-20
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But the LORD delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; Not one of them is broken."

Commentary:
The reality of sudden violence and its aftermath challenges families and entire communities, as seen in this tragedy. Recovery cannot be forced. When the righteous suffer, Scripture doesn’t ignore their pain, but it also insists that God is not absent. People sometimes find basic routines—shopping, working—suddenly hard, and healing is a process.

Prophetic Trend:
