Pause for Prayer: THURSDAY 9/29

Lord,

We hold in prayer all those who live
    in the hurricane's path...

As creation reveals your stormy power,
    show us the strength of your mercy
and spare those whose fragile lives are at risk
    in the wind, the rain and the flooding..

We pray for all who are forced from their homes, 

    seeking shelter in safer places

and for those who offer them comfort

    and a place to rest 'til calm returns...

And to those who stand tall among us,
    called first to respond and to serve,
send angels to be their protection,
    to guard and keep them from harm...

And remind us all, Lord,

    of how much we need

to serve one another as you served us:

    fully, freely, no strings attached,

    giving your self, that others be spared...

Be our shelter in all of life's storms, Lord

    and save us that we might live 

to praise you with joy and thanksgiving

    when the tempest finally has passed...

Amen.
