Hurricane Sandy

My prayers today are for all those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Even here in Wisconsin, we are feeling some of the effects.

Dear God, 
How can our lives go on so routinely for so long and then suddenly turn into so much chaos? We turn to you today in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Be with those who have made a commitment to protect us. Protect them, guide them, and give them strength as they do their jobs. Heal those who have suffered emotional and physical injuries. Comfort those who have lost loved ones, homes, businesses, and a sense of security. Be with everyone as they rebuild their lives in the weeks to come. Lighten their burdens, guide them, encourage them and help them feel your love. Thank you for all the blessings in our lives and all the blessings yet to come. A-men.
