Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the gift of another day.
Lord, calm the storms and quiet the winds. Let the dangerous weather subside, and place Your protection over every person in its path. Watch over our first responders and all those working to keep others safe.
Be especially near to those who are hurting today. Comfort those grieving a loss. Shelter those without a home. Feed those who are hungry. Clothe those who have nothing, and open doors for people who desperately need help.
Remind us that we can be part of someone else’s answered prayer. Give us compassionate hearts, generous hands, and eyes that notice those who are struggling.
Bring peace where there is fear, hope where there is despair, and light into the darkest places.
Keep us safe, guide our steps, and help us love one another well today.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen. 🙏
