Good Morning, God,
The headlines have been about serious weather disasters of late, Lord. And, some of the stories are about how various people and agencies have been trying to help with safety, daily living and basic recovery. But when the headlines end (and we who are not directly affected by the disasters are tired of the reports and visuals!), the groups that have been helping throughout the recovery are tired, depleted, and running on empty. Yes, they are proud of their efforts, but they pray that some other serious event won't happen until they, themselves, rejuvenate.
Gracious God, we are thankful for those who answer the call to service when trouble strikes, especially those who respond as volunteers. Thank you for giving them strength to do what needs to be done. And, Lord, may the rest of us be more than willing to give above a fair share of our comfortable resources, sharing what we have so that help agencies and those they assist may also be comfortable once again.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
