Ok, I do not like to complain or whine too much... well, maybe a little. Anyway, I woke up this morning and looked out my window and snow was coming down in buckets. Wet, sludgy, nasty snow! I do not like snow, in case it matters, but especially not after several days of absolutely beautiful spring weather.
As I am writing this I am thinking that I really ought to stop complaining. The people in Japan and China and Hawaii, and a bunch of other places I am sure, are having it much worse than some yucky snow. I don't watch the news really so I have only seen little bits and pieces of what is going on over there. I cannot imagine the pain and worry and fear and who knows what else is going on in their hearts and their minds. I suppose if anyone needs prayer right now it is those people affected by the earthquakes and tsunamis. So I am going to take a minute and just pray for them.
Father I come to You in the Name of Your Son, Jesus, and I ask that You would send comfort to the people affected by these tragedies. Holy Spirit comfort them and give them peace in the midst of their sorrow and hopelessness. Father I ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in this tragedy and show Your loving kindness and Your caring toward them. I ask that any of them that do not know You yet, would come to know You and love You through this. Send workers and aid to love them and help them rebuild. Help them to have the necessities that they need right now Father, food, clothing, shelter and clean water Father. Keep them safe and protect them from any further harm. Take their pain and suffering and give them Your hope and Your future for them. Most of all Daddy, please give them Your peace and Your joy. I thank You that You hear our prayers Father and You answer. I thank You for blessing all of those affected by these disasters and for the ones going to help them, especially our service men and women. In Jesus' name I pray! Amen.
