Oh God, Creator of earth and sea and sky,
We pray together today for our sisters and brothers
Who have endured this storm,And especially for those we have
lost.
Please grant us fortitude and help when needed.
We know that you remain with us in every moment of ourlives:
Lord, please strengthen our faith now,
And let it guide us in these difficult days.
Please protect the safety of police officers and
firefighters,
Ambulance crews and medical personnel, as well as those
Who are restoring our power and other services.
Help us to focus on what is good in the human spirit, and
always
To thank you for all those who have stepped forward to help
others.
May even this become a moment of Grace for us all.
We make this prayer through Christ, our Lord. Amen
