A Prayer for the Weather-Beaten

November 7, 2013 by Caryn Leave a Comment

[Prayer Spark: Reading about the Super Typhoon supposed to hit Philippines]

God,

Be with those in the Philippines who await “the biggest storm ever.”

How terrifying: to do all you can to prepare, to hunker down or head out. To calm children, to pretend all will be well. For their sakes.

I imagine the prayers to you or other gods are deafening. But I add mine as well.

Be near. Be merciful.

Amen.
