Prayer For Today

This morning, America is waking up and checking on the damage that Hurricane Sandy left on the East Coast. We already know that lives have been lost, homes and businesses destroyed, and landmarks demolished. People are still without power, some are stranded in their homes, and waters are still pooling in the streets and buildings of numerous cities.

Today, I wanted to pray for those affected by this storm.

Father, please be with those who were impacted by this hurricane. Thank You for keeping millions through the night and not allowing the damage to be as enormous as some were predicting. Strengthen those who feel weak, send your healing power to those who were injured. Comfort those who are hurting, and send help to those in need.

Lord, give wisdom to all who now have to figure out how to navigate a way back through the mess that was created. Bless all the leaders, officials, directors, and managers who are making decisions on today. Give knowledge and understanding to the business owners, heads of households, and others in authority as they decide what to do and when.

God, only You can help us to go about each day. Only You can guide our footsteps with surety that will not fail. Only You can show us the pathways when we see nothing. Only You know exactly how to help us face what we have never seen.

Thank You for Your love. Thank You for Your comfort. Thank You for Your peace.

Amen.

Verse of the Day: But you are a tower of refuge to the poor, O LORD, a tower of refuge to the needy in distress. You are a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the heat. Isaiah 25:4
