A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, October 31st

Good Morning, God,

We want to do our part this morning, praying for all who are suffering from Hurricane Sandy, Lord. As such, as she has passed, we all too well see what she left behind. Now, we need the wisdom to know what to do when and the strength to do it. Please, Lord, may we have hope for each new hour that the infrastructures that were damaged are being repaired, that the hospitals are able to care for those who are hurt, that the world will see how we come together in a crisis, and that those civil servants whose jobs are to make life livable for the rest of us will be kept strong and safe.

We also give thanks for helpers from far away, even from Indiana. And, while they are gone from their home area, keep it so they aren't needed back home.

Lord, we always have the good hope for restoration of our way of life, no matter the damage, no matter the cause, for you have made us to be able to hope for each new day. We go forward with this hope...always.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
