Good and Gracious God,

We come before you with humble hearts, overwhelmed by the catastrophic floods in parts of our Mission Presbytery and beyond.

​We thank you for the lives saved in the midst of this devastation.

​We grieve with those who have lost their loved ones. Comfort and console them, O God!

​We pray for those who have lost their homes, businesses, and cherished belongings.

Hear our prayers, O Lord!​

As the community prepares to rebuild, we pray for strength and resilience.​

Grant us all a generous heart, so that we may rally the resources needed to rebuild our flooded communities.​

We trust in your faithfulness, dear God, even in the midst of devastation.​

Bless all who work for relief and restoration. And may your peace, which passes understanding, guard the hearts and minds of those who suffer.​

May our response reflect your love for all people and all creation, and thus bring honor and glory to your holy name.​

We pray all these in the name of Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord!

Amen!
