Merciful Father, we pray about the fire that killed 13
children at a children’s home in Haiti’s Kenscoff
region Thursday. We are thankful for the dozens of children who were safely
rescued, but dismayed by the loss of the 13 young lives, in part due to rescue
workers being inadequately equipped to help them. Heavenly Father, please bring
healing to the injured and to the traumatized. For those who have living
parents, may they be quickly reunited if their parents are able to comfort and
help them during this time. Lord, we also pray about the questions surrounding
the condition of this orphanage, which is run by a Pennsylvania religious
group. It is discouraging to hear that the home may have operated without
accreditation and possibly with unsafe and unsanitary conditions. Please bring
to light anything that would be helpful for these children and this nation. May
this group not use your name in vain. And, Lord, we do pray for the rescue
workers who responded to this crisis and found themselves unable to help as
much as they would have liked. Help them to process through this tragedy, and
may they find the resources needed to provide more effective assistance in the
future. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
