- 0:00Speaker 1: It is time for us to go to God in prayer,
- 0:01Speaker 1: and as always I ask that you join along with
- 0:05Speaker 1: me in prayer. And my heart is just broken after
- 0:08Speaker 1: seeing the loss of life and devastation as a result
- 0:11Speaker 1: of the storms that went through our area, and I
- 0:16Speaker 1: want to pray for those who have lost loved ones,
- 0:19Speaker 1: who have lost everything. Oh Heavenly Father, we come before
- 0:24Speaker 1: you today with heavy hearts, lifting up all those who
- 0:27Speaker 1: have been impacted by the recent storms. Lord, you see
- 0:31Speaker 1: every tear. God, you hear every cry, and you know
- 0:34Speaker 1: the depths of the pain and sorrow that so many
- 0:38Speaker 1: are now enduring. We grieve for the lives that have
- 0:41Speaker 1: been lost. God, for the families who are mourning, and
- 0:44Speaker 1: for the community shaken by destruction. In your mercy, God,
- 0:49Speaker 1: draw them near to you. You are the God who
- 0:54Speaker 1: walks with us through the valleys of the shadow of depth,
- 0:57Speaker 1: and we ask that your comforting presses be felt in
- 1:01Speaker 1: tangible ways for all God of us that are dealing
- 1:05Speaker 1: with grief and loss. Wrap your arms around the broken hearted,
- 1:09Speaker 1: Bring peace that surpasses all understanding to those who are
- 1:14Speaker 1: in shock and despair. Be the strength for the weary
- 1:17Speaker 1: God and the anchor for those tossed in the storms
- 1:20Speaker 1: of grief and loss. Lord, Lord, we lift up those
- 1:26Speaker 1: who have been injured. You bring healing to their bodies. God,
- 1:29Speaker 1: bring restoration to their spirits. God the hands of the
- 1:33Speaker 1: doctors and the nurses, and provide every resource that's needed
- 1:37Speaker 1: for recovery in their lives. God, where there's pain, you
- 1:40Speaker 1: bring relief. Where there's fear, God bring courage. And where
- 1:44Speaker 1: there's confusion, God, you bring clarity. You bring calm. God,
- 1:49Speaker 1: we pray God for peace in the midst of chaos.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Let your steal small voice, quiet the noise of fear
- 1:56Speaker 1: and anxiety. God. Let every community come together and you
- 2:00Speaker 1: bearing one another's burdens, extending hands of compassion and generosity. Father, God,
- 2:05Speaker 1: we also ask for restoration. Restore homes, restore neighborhoods, livelihoods
- 2:10Speaker 1: better than they were before. But more than restoration of
- 2:14Speaker 1: those things, God, restore hope. Let this be a moment
- 2:17Speaker 1: where people turn to You, the rock that cannot be shaken.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Let your church rise to be a beacon of light
- 2:23Speaker 1: and love in the midst of darkness. Pour out your spirit, God,
- 2:27Speaker 1: and renew what's been lost, not only in material things,
- 2:30Speaker 1: but in faith, in joy, and in trust. Finally, Lord,
- 2:34Speaker 1: we just want to say thank you.
