Lord, today we pray for China as its people continue to deal
with the aftermath of this weekend’s flooding. One hundred twenty-eight people
dead and more than 40 missing… Lord, it’s
hard to imagine death by mudslide. We pray for the families of those 23 people
who died that way, that the images would not haunt their dreams, that they would
find peace in you. It’s also awe-inspiring to consider the power of rain. You
have created rain as a good thing, yet it wrought so much havoc within China
this weekend—flooding, the mudslide, a wall collapsing, etc. Lord, may we
humble ourselves before you. May we honor you in all our ways. May we reach out
to our neighbors in their time of need, as you want us to. I pray that your
children in China would do this during this difficult time. May they comfort
those who grieve, help and pray with those who lost homes or had to be
evacuated. Bless the efforts of everyone trying to help. And may the missing be
found as quickly as possible. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
