A Prayer for the People of Haiti
- We pray for hope during this desperate situation, that as the people of Haiti face darkness, they may see light.
- We pray for families, those with members lost and those with no home.
- We pray for a greater conscience among everyone to help lift the people of Haiti not only out of the rubble, but the grind of poverty.
- We pray for the relief workers, that they keep a spirit of perseverance despite the obstacles they face.
- We pray for a spirit of thanksgiving for all who support the efforts of relief agencies, both in this time of rescue and care, and the ongoing time of rehabilitation and development.
- We pray for those who search for meaning in the devastation, that they may find peace.
Lord, hear these prayers.
