Let us pray,
Loving God, we pray for all people affected by Friday’s earthquake and tsunami, especially the people of Japan. We cannot understand such devastation, God. It is too much for us to bear.
Comfort the entire nation as they mourn. Provide for your people. Quicken the steps of those who bring aid. Watch over the stabilizing of the nuclear reactors so that everyone would be safe and all material responsibly cared for. Somehow, bring your redeeming presence over this tragedy.
We ask in Jesus' name, Amen.
