Prayer for Today

 


Prayer for today ~ 

God, today, we echo the ancient words of the Psalmist, "God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble."  We pray for You to be with our brothers and sisters in Cuba today as Hurricane Ian makes landfall.  We pray for Your safe shelter.  We pray for the whole Gulf Coast of Florida as we brace for the storm here in the coming days. 

We know how much life has felt like storm after storm recently.  From the pandemic to polarization to trying to keep on keeping on ~ we are tired, worn, and weary of the swirling winds of life.  We need Your presence, O God.  Help to calm our anxiety.  Help us to stay centered in Your love.  Help us find ways to reach out.  God meet us in this moment and let Your steadfast love continue to be with us in the days to come.

In the name of the One who walked through the storms of life, Jesus the Christ.  Amen.
