Lord, grant comfort to those who have lost much and strength to those who labor tirelessly in the relief efforts. Pour out Your wisdom upon the leaders and decision-makers, so they may act with compassion and foresight. Surround the volunteers and first responders with Your protection as they bravely step forward to help.
Father, for those who are suffering and in need, I ask for Your provision. Let resources flow to those who need them most, and inspire generosity in the hearts of others. May the communities affected find unity and resilience, drawing upon Your spirit to rebuild and restore.
Lord, help us see beyond the destruction to the opportunities for renewal. Lift our spirits and give us hope, so we may look forward with faith to a future filled with Your promise of restoration and peace.
In Your name, I pray.
Amen.
