Heavenly Father, today we pray about
the landslides and flooding in Hawaii, particularly Kauai. First, Lord, we pray
for anyone who might still be in danger: lacking supplies, injured or trapped
in a place as yet undiscovered. Give the imperiled resourcefulness and strength
to carry on. And we pray for rescuers to find them. Next, we pray for those who
are trapped, yet with supplies. Give them continued courage, wisdom in how to
use their resources, and peace despite this unique challenge. Lord, we pray for
rescuers, who have been retrieving people via helicopter, boat, jet ski, bus,
and whatever has been necessary. Give them clear minds, steady footing, stout
hearts. May they bring not only rescue, but hope to those with whom they
interact. As rescue operations wind down, may these brave souls find time for good rest,
and may their loved ones support and encourage them. We pray for fresh water to
get to those who need it as quickly and efficiently as possible. We also pray
for the longer-term recovery efforts that will be taking place not only in
Kauai, but also in Oahu and Hawaii, which also
sustained flooding. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
