Prayers for Texas

As a Floridian I understand in a profound way the power and destruction caused by hurricanes. It looks like Galveston could use some prayers. Hurricane Ike was very powerful and caused much damage to Texas. We should also remember that Haiti and Cuba also suffered terrible damage and loss of life from this storm. This season appears to be an active one so let's pray for all of us who live in hurricane alley.

Father, we pray for all those who have been impacted by Hurricane Ike. We remember especially those who live in areas where buildings and infrastructure were not built to withstand these kinds of forces. We mourn the loss of life and we pray for a swift recovery of the survivors. May we place our trust in you and know that is by your power that we can live in freedom from fear and anxiety. Help us to realize that you are with us even through the most dangerous of storms.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
