We hold the survivors of the typhon Kalmaegi or Tino, a local name in Philippines, in prayers. The families in Cebu Philippines have lost everything after November 6 disastrous calamity.
Lessening our carbon footprint, and increasing our resilliency can also be a way of praying and offering our love to those affected. Joining a green and faithful organizations can be a good way to not feel isolated when working on anything as big as Climate Crisis.
Prayer For the People
God of healing and mercy, we come before you with our hearts filled with grief as we see the devastation.
We pray that your presence would be felt by those who are grieving, who are injured, who have lost their homes and livelihoods.
We pray for wisdom and safety for those who are responding to the people in need and the many challenges left in the wake of the event.
We pray for our church, that it may be a witness to your compassion and care for all who suffer.
God, you are our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. For this we give you thanks and ask that you hear our prayers for the people of Cebu, Philippines.
