A Prayer for the Headlines for April 29

God Morning, God,
Lord, while we were enjoying relative peace, other parts of our country were being blown apart and sucked up in their tornadoes this week. So, this day we want to pray for the good folks in the southern states and along the east coast, but especially those in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Lord, we pray for those who lost property, but especially for those who lost loved ones, friends, and family. We are grateful that the tornado didn't hit the campus of the University of Alabama. We are thankful that the motto of "Roll, Tide, roll," wasn't due to the winds blowing the campus around.
Lord, this season has been rife with very serious, incredible storms. More lives than usual have been lost. More property than usual has been damaged or destroyed. Many parts of our lives have been very disrupted.
But this is what can be expected during life. Our lives are not all niceties and sunshine. When they are, we are so grateful. When they are not - well, we especially turn to you for your love, guidance and protection. Be with us especially in these days, Lord. Please.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
