A prayer in the wake of tragedy

Posted on by

Loving Father,
you created the world and all it contains.
Bring an end to the storms that have torn through parts of South-East Asia.
As you guarded Noah and his family from the flood,
Guard your loved ones from any further harm.

We ask you,
Loving Father, protect us.

Compassionate Son,
you destroyed death and gave new life.
Take those who have died into your loving care.
As we struggle to come to terms with this disaster,
let the glory of your resurrection give us hope.

We ask you,
Compassionate Son, comfort us.

Holy Spirit,
you lead us along the path of holiness.
Be with those who are called to respond to this tragedy.
As we view the destruction from afar,
help us to respond with generosity of heart.

We ask you,
Holy Spirit, guide us.

Eternal God,
Holy Trinity,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
Protect us, guide us, comfort us.
Be with those who mourn.
Bless all of us who trust in you,
both now and for ever.

Amen.
