A prayer for the eartquake and landslide victims

Lord, be near to our brothers and sisters in Pakistan and Guatemala who are suffering from the catastrophic destruction wrought by earthquakes and landslides in their countries. Comfort them with Your loving touch as they struggle with the torment of their physical and emotional pain. Impart wisdom and direction to those who are aiding in the rescue and recovery process. Fill them with strength to accomplish the difficult tasks before them. We pray for their safety as they face danger from aftershocks and further landslides.
In the days to come, turn the darkness of despair into the light of hope. Encourage the hearts of the downtrodden as they face the reality of their losses and begin the restoration process. May they draw strength from the wellspring of Your grace that overflows with faith, hope and love. In Your precious name we pray. Amen
