To Bring Good Out of Disaster

Compassionate Father,
When natural disasters strike, in an instant, our lives are whittled down to what matters most. The worries that weighed so heavily on us for so long disappear in a flash and are replaced by what we care about more than anything: relationships. Our relationships – in marriage, with beloved family members, with treasured friends – are as valuable to us as they’ve ever been. And, especially when lives are lost at the hands of nature, our relationship with you is front and center. 

We pray for all of those directly and indirectly devastated by disaster. Console victims and care for the injured. Protect those still at risk or in danger of the aftereffects, and provide for all who are reeling from loss of any scale. Don’t allow suffering to be wasted, but work the good only you can through it. Use it to elevate our value of people over possessions, and open eyes of faith to see that when we have you, even when we’re stripped of everything else in this life, we still have all that we truly need.  

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Hurricane Victims

All Comforting Father,
As many of us wake up this morning, we easily take for granted our warm bed, the roof over our head, and the electricity that keeps everything running smoothly. But for many in the southeast, whose lives have been drastically affected by Hurricane Helene, they are without these things and much more.

We pray for all of those who lost so much as a result of the powerful forces of nature that devastated and destroyed. Meet their needs and provide for their daily bread in any manner possible. Move the hearts of many to reach out and support those in need as they are able. Look with favor on all those working tirelessly to search and rescue those still unaccounted for. For the families who lost loved ones in the storm, replace their pain with your peace. Use this turmoil to lead many to a deeper trust in you as this experience reminds them of the futility of misplaced trust in what is temporary and so easily swept away. Finally, in the darkness of so much loss, let your love shine as brightly as ever. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
