Merciful God
Merciful God,
Even though the storm has passed over, there is devastation in its wake...
the powerful wake, the waters surge, washing away all in its path,
breaking powerlines, leaving people without power;
branches from proud strong trees are scattered.
For all those still in harm's way, we pray for those assessing loss,
For all those who have been rendered homeless,
or more homeless because of the storm,
we pray for recovery, for hope, for help, for healing and strength.
For people, who we can’t physically get to help, but are offering prayers.
We pray for the lineman who restore electricity;
we pray for the people who are maintaining the shelters, for people who have no home;
we pray for the first responders, who are working so hard to rescue people;
we pray for all who are helping the people, of Florida, recover from the hurricane.
We stand with you and send our prayers as we put our hand in the hand of GOD.
We ask for Your divine help; God in your mercy, hear our prayers,
in the name God and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
