Dearest Lord God and Father of all…
We stand in awe of the complete and total glory and majesty which shows throughout your world and your universe. All that is seen and unseen belongs to you, and we cannot possibly understand what kind of planning and creativity has gone into your handiwork.
Lord, we do not know all of your purposes for the things which happen in this world. Why we have such natural disasters as the one yesterday in Oklahoma City is unknown to us. We cannot know why it is that so many people and so much property were laid waste at the hands of the horrific tornado.
All we can do is bow down before you and ask that you look after all of the families and friends and others who experienced a great loss in this disaster. Be with the needy and grieving souls who shuffle aimlessly through piles of rubble looking for survivors; looking for what may be left of their own lives.
Please hear our collective prayers on behalf of all people in houses of worship everywhere. Comfort and guide the beaten and confused souls who are in so much pain. Lord, you are a mighty God, capable of great power as we have seen put on display in this storm. But you are also a loving and eternally knowing God who stands ready to provide for the people’s needs before they even ask it of you.
Therefore, please attend to the sick, hurt, and misery ridden souls who are in the most need of your attention. May your will be done in all things, as we end this prayer in the name of Christ the Son…AMEN!
