A prayer for those affected by flooding



Gracious God,
In the storms of life, you are our rock.
When we are afraid and uncertain,
You are steadfast and unchanging.
Today we stand with our brothers and sisters,
In the UK and around the world,
Who are affected by floods, by the impact of nature’s storms.
We ask that you will bring relief.
We ask for sanctuary for the homeless,
Hope for the desperate,
And comfort for those whose livelihoods are threatened.
We pray for those seeking to help:
Churches, relief agencies, emergency services, the armed forces,
We pray that they might be equipped and protected.
We ask that in your great wisdom and power,
You might intervene and drive back the waters.
Loving God, hear our prayer.

Amen
