Lord, Show Us what to do to help recent Victims of the Storm

 

Dear Father in heaven,

We praise your name and give you thanks. Even in times such as these, we are thankful.

We lift on high the name that is above all names. We ask Jesus, who is the Christ and who sits at the right hand of the Father, to intercede for us. We trust in his power to send mercy and relief to those afflicted by the storms of this past week.

Lord, call upon the body of Christ to respond to the needs of their neighbors. We, who are protected from this storm have known other storms and have given you thanks for seeing us through them.

Thank you for our testimonies. We pray that those now afflicted have testimonies of your great love.

Lord, whether those testimonies come in the form of witnessing a mighty act of your hand or by the compelling of your Spirit that lives in our hearts and in the hearts of other believers to be your hands, let your love be known in this trial.

God Almighty, we sit in comfort and thank you for that, but our hearts are being shaped like yours and we want to help those who need help most right now.

Lord Jesus, we long to be known as belonging to you by our love in action.

Open our eyes that we may see what to do.

Amen.
