Resources to Help People Cope with Tragedy*

Romans 8:35, 37-39 (NIV)

                        "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or
                       persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all things we are
                       more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither
                       death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor
                        any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be
                         able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
