Good Morning, God,
The headlines say "Flood Zone Residents 'Praying Every Day'." We know what this is like, Creator God, only we aren't the ones praying this time. Oh, we're praying prayers of thanksgiving that our high waters haven't been as devastating as they might have been; we are grateful for this. But the ones praying today are the folks along the Mississippi River, particularly in Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama. "The worst they've ever seen," it is said.
Heavenly Father, watch over our families, friends, loved ones and fellow U.S. citizens as we all cope with all of this extra water. May the lives of people and animals be safe on dry land. May important possessions be saved and safe. may property and land be recoverable and repairable. And, may all of us turn to you for guidance and protection in and from all the stormy, dangerous times in our lives. May the floods that come never overwhelm us.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
