A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, October 27

Good Morning, God,

From our county to foreign countries, Lord, the headlines are about very serious weather problems. From very high winds, hail and tornadoes here, to earthquakes and tsunamis in Indonesia, from flooding in Haiti to cyclones and hurricanes affecting many places, your created order is causing much disorder, Lord!

As one has observed, "Everyone talks about the weather, but no one can do anything about it." So, we take what is given to us and try to make the best of it, God. We try to "batten down the hatches" when the strong winds come." We try to take to safe shelter when the really big storms hit. We try to stay on solid ground when the shakes move us. We try to get out of the way when the mud comes sliding, the waves come crashing, and the power lines start snapping.

Lord, we do always pray for safety from all the storms of our life - the natural, the self-made and the man-made. As always, help us, Lord.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
