Lord God, our only Hope in this world and the next,

As we look with horror at the great storm that is bearing down on the Gulf Coast,

We pray that through your infinite mercy you will spare the lives of:

The public safety workers, who bravely wait to rescue others in the path of this storm;

Be with those who rather than flee to safety, heed your call to remain behind and care for the sick and poor;

Strengthen those who are living sacrificially, those who are staying behind to care for the unloved, those who can't leave, and those who in their folly won't leave;

Be with the crews who will move in after the storm to clear the devastation that this storm will bring; for we know that even after the wind and rain cease, the risk of disease will be great;

Be with the poor, the downtrodden, the elderly and the sick as they lack the resources to endure the earthly aftermath of such a disaster;

Be with the church, strengthen our brothers and sisters, help them be a large part of the recovery, spreading the truth of the Gospel of your Son, Jesus Christ in all they do so that you alone will receive the Glory;

Lord, we know that disease, great storms, and indeed all manner of suffering were brought about by the fall. We are but sinners deserving of you judgment. Lord we humble ourselves at your feet, placing out faith in our only hope, Your Son. Let us boldly proclaim this truth in the aftermath when skeptics and unbelievers ask the inevitable question of why.

Lord, hear our prayers,

In Christ's Name, Amen.

Thanks for the post.

Amen to your prayer.

Many have prayed that these predicted effects be mitigated in some way by the Lord. I have no doubt that nature is under the control of God, and that our Father, who cared about the city of Ninevah will also care about the city of New Orleans.

There has been a lessening of the storm's fury since that time, from a 5 to a 4. Let us pray for a mitigation of the effects of flooding as well. I understand from the media that the decrease of the storm in intensity is multiplicative instead of just arithmetic.
