Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.-2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (New King James Version)

When we came home last night from spending time in fellowship with friends, the images that greeted us as we checked the news was devastating. Our hearts fell as we quickly lifted up the people of Haiti in prayer,followed with what can we do to help.

Heavenly Father, Thank You for being our Father and there in times of joy and in times of grief; Lord, I ask that you cover the people of Haiti, the people who are seeking answers and news of loved ones who are there, the people and organizations who are organizing at every second that passes, to bring relief, comfort and prayers of rescues and miracles in this great time of sadness.


Lord, I dont’ know what words to adequately say, just pray You lead us all through this time and prayers that as we open our hearts to those in Haiti, we also open our prayers to You to lift all who need Your strength and comfort right now.


Amen.
