I pray for all those working diligently in disaster relief and recovery. Guide their hands and hearts, Father, as they endeavor to rebuild and restore. Strengthen them when they grow weary, inspire them when they feel lost, and illuminate their path when the way forward is unclear. May Your divine protection be upon them as they go about their noble mission.
Lord, instill comfort and hope into those who have been affected by these calamities. Let them feel Your loving presence amidst their suffering.
