OneJohn410 -> RE: Prayer for those in floods and storms (6/9/2008 11:40:06 PM)

Father God, You know all we would pray to You before we begin, and Your Spirit is poised and ready to groan it all out to You. You know everyone we might try to encourage to pray for things like total loss of property, loss of family members lives, and the terror experienced in living through a world that's no longer recognizable. One where things suddenly do not behave as they always have, and deep truths are recognized about how precious life is. Thank You for loving us, especially during such times, and thank You for the means in which we can join together from all over Your creation in prayer for the hurting. Lord, as I watched a home simply be ripped in half and fall into flood waters, and part or an entire house simply go floating down the river, my heart aches for the children of the families that have survived this, and realize everything they've known as theirs is now gone. Father God, comfort the children involved in this recent natural disaster, especially those that have lost a parent or both. I pray this and join in praying the words of those before me for a part of Your creation that if I've heard right has never known the strength of mighty waters. In the precious and comforting name of Jesus, I'm praying, Amen
