Prayer for the Victims of Natural Disaster

My heavenly Father, turn a gracious ear to me and hear this prayer for the people of the Gulf Coast, Haiti, and Chile who have been afflicted after waters raged and the earth moved. Before you, I remember those who feel like broken pottery for they have known distress, sorrow, and grief. Free them from such negative emotions. Help them to seek you as their refuge and strength. Hear their cries for mercy when they call upon you for help. Let that help be without limits. May they not be forgotten. Let them know your safety and the greatness of your goodness. Remove their fears by allowing them to experience your grace. Enable afflicted people to abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Rescue them and bring them to honor. Continue to restore shriveled lives, families, and communities. Establish the work of the hands of all who journey into disaster areas so that they can effectively share your aid, joy, and loving kindness. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
