Dear Father,
As I reflect on the One whom I am asked to trust, my soul
finds rest. You are our Great High Priest who understands. You are well
acquainted with grief. Suffering. You understand by personal experience what it
feels like to leave Home and be stripped of everything. You, too, were homeless
with nowhere to lay Your head.
So please. Look on all those in the Gulf region who are now
homeless, too. Stripped of everything. Please. Draw near to them. As they
become more focused on the reality of their stark situation, I ask You to
balance their feelings of devastation and loss with the comfort of Your
presence. Your peace. Your love.
Thank You for every single one of the first responders … the
professionals as well as friends and neighbors who are risking their own safety
to help others. Give them supernatural strength. Energy. Stamina. And deep
satisfaction as they receive the rich, priceless blessing of knowing their
efforts are life-saving and life-changing.
O God. You have been our help in ages past. You are our hope
for years to come. And You alone are our shelter from this stormy blast. Our refuge
and our strength. You are our Good Shepherd who will lead us safely through
this Valley of the Shadow that has fallen over a weary land.
So … wipe the tears from our eyes. Turn our faces to Yours.
Cause us to choose to look up. To look to You. With trust.
In the name of the One who has said, “I will never leave you
nor forsake you. So we may say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will
not be afraid … Amen
