Good Morning, God,
We pray this day for the gulf coast area of our country, as Isaac has made his presence known. Not only has he come with the usual strong winds and buckets of rain, but he also comes eliciting memories of a gal named Katrina, the storm that made her presence known exactly seven years ago. Hopefully, Lord, Isaac will be gentler and the people will be better prepared, so that lives and property will be safer.
Lord, we always face storms in our lives. They aren't limited to tropical storms and hurricanes, either. Our "storms" come in health issues - the sudden heart attack; the surprise stroke; the creeping cancers. Our storms come in our relationships - the decisions and actions we take because we are ourselves that offend and hurt others because they are being themselves.
However, God, you are present and available for us in each and every storm - and in all calm, as well - to strengthen, comfort, guide, heal and love us. May we always feel you nearby us.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
