Lord God, we pray for the 1,300 passengers and crew members being evacuated today
from a cruise ship off Norway. With the evacuation underway through Saturday
night and into Sunday, we pray for your protection over the entire process, and
we are thankful that there are no major injuries as of now. Lord, we know these
processes are not easy. In fact, with a nearby freight vessel already losing
engine power and thus forcing authorities to divert resources to help that
ship's crew, we know many things can go wrong. So we ask your blessing
on the rescue operation. We also pray for the peace that passes understanding
to descend upon those awaiting rescue on the vessel. May both formal and
informal leaders rise up to set a positive, creative attitude, so people can
use the time between now and their evacuation in the best possible ways. May
people behave selflessly, helping the environment to stay calm and the process
to go smoothly. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
