A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, March 7th

Good Morning, God
The storms have cleared and the snow has cleared and now the clean-up can begin in earnest and safety.
Lord, first of all, we are so grateful that our area was spared this time from the devastation and damage of these latest storms.  Thank You.  However, Lord, this does leave us with frustration - frustration that the damage is so far away that we can't just go for a few hours or a day to help.
We do give thanks, Lord, for those who can help.  We give thanks for the many church folks - Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Christian and Independent church folks - who have boots on the ground, who are taking special collections, who are even providing worship services and pastoral care and resting places and hot coffee and food.
We also grieve with those who have lost loved ones, beloved possessions and their only place of shelter.  Give them the strength to endure and the hope for a new tomorrow.
In Jesus' name, Amen
