A Prayer for the Philippines and Cebu -
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in this moment of tragedy, lifting up the Philippines - especially the people of Cebu - in prayer.
We ask for Your mercy, protection, and comfort to be upon them:
- Be with those who have lost loved ones, that they may sense Your presence and be comforted in their grief.
- Heal the wounded and bring strength to those caring for them.
- Shield those trapped or in danger from further harm or aftershocks.
- Provide wisdom, courage, and resources to first responders, volunteers, and government agencies as they rescue, rebuild, and restore.
- Sustain and comfort the many who are displaced, frightened, or traumatized.
- Help communities unite in compassion, generosity, and solidarity, that no one is left forgotten or unsupported.
Lord, in Your righteousness, bring light where there is darkness, hope where there is despair, and renewal where there is ruin.
We entrust all this to You, in Your name we pray, Amen. π
