Praying for all those affected by Hurricane Helene
|
God of the present moment, God who in Jesus stills the storm and soothes the frantic heart; bring hope and courage to all as we wait in uncertainty. Bring hope and peace with whatever lies ahead. Bring us courage to endure what cannot be avoided. For your will is health and wholeness; you are God, and we need you. |
Adapted from a New Zealand Prayer Book, page 765 |
