Hurricane Helene: How Can You Respond?


PRAY

 

Jesus, when you speak peace, your words calm storms and comfort fears.

Extend your power and grace to all impacted by Hurricane Helene.


Speak peace and healing over bodies and spirits broken by the chaos.

Speak peace and hope over families and communities devastated by sudden loss.

Speak peace and unity over devastated populations and economies.

Speak peace and justice over distribution centers, insurance claims, and reconstruction efforts.

Speak peace and protection over rescue workers and all who are transporting aid to isolated areas.

Jesus, speak peace.


Into your hands, O Loving Savior, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in your mercy and your peace -- Amen.


Inspired by a prayer written by Lisa Ann Moss Degrenia, "A Prayer for Storm Survivors" from the blog, "Turning the Word".
