A Prayer For The Tsunami Victims

O Eternal God, save your people and bless your kingdom.
Grant the families of those who have died in the recent Tsunami your peace.
Gather scattered families together by your spirit, most holy God.
Reunite them in joy and protect them from illness in the coming weeks.

We remember that life is a fleeting gift that can be snatched away in an instant.
Help us to trust in You as you are our strength and protector.
May we never take the gift of life for granted as we toil on this Earth.
Grant us your provision and deliverance in times of crisis.

Remember, O Lord, that we are weak vessels of clay that rely on you for our lives.
As we consider the loss of life in the Asian Tsunami, my we be vehicles of your restoration.
Guide and direct our resources to hurting people who bear your image in this disaster area.
Release your Spirit over the land(s) to bring healing, restoration and health once more.

Protect the innocent children from the after affects of this calamity.
Slow the spread of disease and death by your mighty hand Most Gracious Father.
Reveal your hand through the aid that is delivered to the hurting.
Care for the fatherless, the widow, the orphan and those who are alone.

Dearest Father, the needs are so great!
Stir your people to action on behalf of those whose lives have been destroyed in this disaster.
We commit the multitude of dead into your care, grant them rest.
Bring your peace to these hurting people in the months, weeks, and years to come.

~AMEN~
