Good morning, God,
We feel for any woman named "Irene" today, as a huge hurricane carries that same name and is making the headlines. We pray this morning for those in the Bahamas who have already been hit and those on the east coast of our land who are being hit now, only to get more of the worst later. We pray for the safety of all who are in the path of Irene, for the strength of the buildings that are in her way, and for the clean-up efforts that will need to be done.
Lord, we are grateful here that all we might face is some wind and rain, but we can handle this little bit.
However, Lord, there are the human hurricanes that we face every day which may be more damaging than the weather ones. We may feel that our lives are spinning around and around - and picking up speed. We may think we have just felt the violent wind of a friend attacking our moorings. We may believe we have "battened down our hatches," only to be blown off course again.
Heavenly Father, please control your weather hurricanes and our interpersonal hurricanes that all my be peaceful.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
