O God,
We lift up to you those who are hurting this morning.
This storm has caused destruction, pain, and for some, even death.
For those who have been affected by this terrible thing,
We pray for help, for healing, for your presence among them.
It is easy for those of us thousands of miles away
To become apathetic about this destruction.
If destruction does not directly affect us,
We can easily become unconcerned about our fellow human's struggles.
But may catastrophes like this remind us all of times that
We have hurt, we have been in pain, we have needed dire help.
And may those reminders cause us to do
Whatever we can to help others.
And in that way, may we be an answer to prayers all around us.
In the name of the One who calls us to pray unceasingly, we pray,
Amen.
