God of all creation,
We pray for those impacted by floodwaters
in Nepal and China, in the Grand Canyon, in Ohio,
and in places whose names we may never know.
We pray for those who are frightened,
for those searching and rescuing,
for those waiting and wondering,
for those who have lost homes, livelihoods, and loved ones.
Bring comfort to those who mourn,
may they feel your Presence.
Give strength to those who are struggling
to simply make it through another day.
Protect those still in danger.
Open pathways for help to reach those in need.
And when the waters recede,
may compassion continue to flow.
Remind us, O God, that none of us is alone.
Waters that flood one community touch us all.
May we carry one another through these storms of life
with prayer, with generosity, with presence, and with love.
Amen.
