Heavenly Father, today we pray for salvage efforts in
Tanzania, as rescuers are no longer searching for survivors, but are now
searching for bodies after an overcrowded ferry overturned Thursday. We pray
for perseverance and courage for these rescuers as they face the grim task of
pulling bodies from underwater in the midst of all the grief caused by this tragic
boat accident. We pray for the loved ones awaiting word--that they would have
patience and grace as they seek closure. We pray for all the grieving, that you
would meet with them in their pain, drawing them close to you and meeting their
needs. And, Lord, we pray for the ongoing investigation about this calamity.
May the truth come out about who and what were involved with this terrible loss
of hundreds of lives. And may water transportation improve in Tanzania, where
too many similar accidents have occurred through the years. In Jesus’ name we
pray, amen.
