For those of us who live in California, who have felt the solidness of the earth under our feet move and shift, who have experienced the fear and uncertainty in the aftermath of an earthquake, our hearts go out to our brothers and sisters in Haiti who are suffering.
For those of us who have relatives who live far away, and know how hard it is to watch and wonder from a distance what is going on in another part of the world, our hearts go out to those who still do not know who is safe and who is not.
For those of us who mourn when we see human life lost or suffering, our hearts turn towards God in prayer.
We pray for the residents of Haiti, and their loved ones as they struggle in the aftermath of this tragedy that has struck their home.
May the Holy One grant the relief workers skill and speed in bringing healing and recovery, and grant protection to them in their dangerous work. May we be partners with our Creator in bringing the people of Haiti healing and peace, security and stability in this difficult time.
May this be God’s will.--AMEN.
