Red Cross

My heart goes out to these families and towns. As one of my Meals On Wheels clients put it, "We are one body, united. We are all affected and must pray for one another daily." Makes our daily struggles look insignificant in comparison. May we do more than pray but also learn from this, especially how truly blessed we are, and do what we can to help. Let's be the love our fellow Americans who were impacted by this need!

Prayer for US Tornado Victims

We all are aware of the seeming increase of tornadoes and storms in the U.S. and around the world. This week, about 6 dozen tornadoes have devastated many U.S. communities and regions taking 30 lives and leaving 75 injured (Sommers, 2012) and even more houses, businesses, and vehicles destroyed. Please keep these Americans in your thoughts and prayers. Some have lost everything.

Father, we lift up those devastated by these tornadoes and we ask for your divine intervention in their lives and in this situation. Holy Spirit, we thank you for comforting them. May they feel your Holy presence and run to you. Please shower them with healing and restoration physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Please use this situation for good and lead those affected and aware to Christ and unite us as one. I pray God for those who are experiencing loss from these tornadoes to look to you for understanding and be blessed with even more than what they had initially. Please wrap your merciful and gracious arms around them. Thank you God. We trust in you and know you can do all things. In Jesus' name, Amen.
