Typhoon Haiyan Appeal: A Reflection and Prayer
Typhoon Haiyan Appeal: A Reflection and Prayer
Lord, our refuge and strength. In suffering, you are still our hope.
Hear our prayers today.
Typhoons are extreme storms, with very heavy wind and rains.
Typhoon Haiyan winds were more than 330km per hour and the
waves were 15 metres high.
Lord, we ask that you protect our brothers and sisters in the
Philippines.
During these times, it can be difficult to access people and give them
help. Roads are closed and it is difficult to communicate.
Lord, in times of fear and confusion, let your love hold all people
together.
Let there be peace amongst the panic, and co-operation in the chaos.
Caritas Australia and our partners began preparing before the storm
hit, and will continue to be there in the long term to assist the people
of the Philippines recover from the typhoon.
Lord, please fill all hearts with hope and strength as rescue and
rehabilitation continues.
