Lord God, we pray for rescuers and weather authorities as
they search Alabama and Georgia, following the deadly tornadoes that hit these
states Sunday. First of all, we pray for survivors who remain in peril. We pray
that these people may draw on rich reserves of strength and resourcefulness in
order to hold on until help arrives. Please lay it on hearts and minds to
search areas that have not yet been searched—guiding rescuers to where people
need assistance. Next, we pray for those who grieve the loss of loved ones, since
at least 23 people perished in these storms. Comfort the ones left behind deep
within their souls as they process this grievous blow. We pray for those whose
lives have been upended and property lost. May they find shelter, food, etc.,
as needed, and may they have the courage and resources to begin anew. Finally,
we pray for blessing and protection over those who are helping in any way—whether
providing medical assistance, doing weather research, meeting emergency needs,
searching the rubble, or planning to help with longer-term needs. We pray these
people will persevere with their work until they have success. In Jesus’ name
we pray, amen.
