A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, February 23

good Morning, God,
Lord, "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" and "Shake, Shake, Shake" may be good titles for rock songs, but they are not good words for what has happened in New Zealand with their earthquake.
Lord, we pray for the people of New Zealand, especially for those in the city of Christchurch. We pray for the loved ones of those who have died. We pray for the injured that their wounds will heal quickly and completely. We pray for those who have lost their homes and those who have lost their businesses. May they find the strength and resources to rebuild. We pray for the emergency workers, that they will be able to rest from heir labors when they are tired.
And, Lord, we pray for those who call the Cathedral in Christchurch their place of worship. Already being rebuilt because of an earlier quake, now there is much more work to do.
So, Lord God, bless the good efforts of all who would rebuild and restore the people of New Zealand to a safe, serene and secure life.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
