My brother Matt is still unheard from since Monday, when he called our Mom to say that he was fine, but his house was starting to flood just a little (about 10 blocks from the Quarter). We are hoping he is out of N.O. by now and hoping he gets to Houston so we can drive over from Oklahoma to get him. Please pray for my mother who is sick with worry right now, but is strong in her faith that he will be home soon.
Prayers for your mom, may her heart's most fervent desire be granted soon. May her worry be for naught, as Matt is returned safely home. May you feel the Lord's comfort now.
Prayers continue for all affected by this storm. May God shine down upon them, providing comfort and strength and sustenance. Blessings for the tireless and selfless rescue workers, and ordinary citizens who help in any capacity.
May those who are lawbreaking for personal gain seek, instead, to help others and return to lawfulness and calm.
And may we, as a nation, remember these people long after the media coverage stops. They will need our prayers for a long time to come. And may we all be there to provide them.
