If your prayers this week include intercession for The Philippines after
Typhoon Haiyan, here’s a prayer that might be helpful. It comes from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Prayer for those Suffering from Storms
or Flooding
Loving God,
in the communion of
Christ,
we are joined with
the trials and sufferings of all.
Be with those who endure
the wind and rain/flooding.
Protect those in the
path of danger.
Open the pathway of
evacuations.
Help loved ones find
one another in the chaos.
Provide assistance to
those who need help.
Ease the fears of all
and make your
presence known in the stillness of your peace;
Through Jesus Christ,
our Savior and Lord. Amen.
