Holy and Gracious God,
we call out to you in these hours of desperate need following the destructive forces of nature.
Help us most powerful One, by moving within the hearts of all that you have already called and equipped to be first responders.
Open our hearts to be generous before speaking out.
Increase in us the power to sit in stillness, offering listening hearts to the broken-hearted of this and all tragedies.
Do not forget us in our hour great pain.
Do not abandon those whose lives were cut short.
In your great mercy bring them into your eternal presence that they may become one with you in your majestic realm which dwells impenetrably beyond our human capabilities. All this we ask in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ who lives together with you and the Holy Spirit, Eternally One and reigning in Heaven. Amen
Nice prayer, Barbara.
