prayer bump!

[ErnBatavia]

You got it, brother!

[Inspectorette]

Prayers are going out for those in peril on the angry sea.

[Catspaw]

You got it. It's got to be dangerous out there with those kinds of seas and a 52 ft. sailboat in tow.

[Ramius]

It's going to be a long night for them, that's for sure.

I was on Resolute when it was in Astoria. I got to see that 52 a few times. Magnificent boat. There was another one... um... Victory wasn't it? Do you know if they are both still in service?

Hats off to those brave folks.The Oregon Coast gets rough,and I know these rescues are no lightweight stuff.When you talk to them,send them our support.

[Tailback]

I grew up in Warrenton, OR so I knew many coast guardsmen, their families, and people that had been rescued by them. My old roommate was rescued off of a sinking shrimp boat with two broken legs and a broken arm by the USCG. In the Army, National Guard, and Air National guard I have trained to do a job for my country. Every single day the men and women of the USCG ARE DOING a dangerous job for their country and communities. My prayers are with them.

[glock rocks]

prayers of comfort and safety sent.

God bless these heroes.

[bigfootbob]

I've been across that bar in calm weather and it was rough. They have my prayers. They are the best and they'll make it look easy. The guys that work the Columbia River area are the best the Coast Guard has.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

30-40 ft waves? My prayers are sent! 3-5 foot waves made me sick as a dog...

[radu]

Sending my prayers for the safety of your Coast Guard Brothers and Sister, Tonk, and for all involved in their rescue.

[mfulstone]

God bless the US Coast Guard and especially the lifeboat crews.

Coos Head can be nasty in a storm. Been there, seen that.

[Spunky]

Thoughts and Prayers for all those who are out in the rough waters.

From what I read on another thread it sounds like a terrible storm is about to hit the West Coast.

[Exit148]

God bless and watch over these brave and stalwart saviors on the sea. Keep them ever alert in their respect for the wind and waves, and help them to a safe landfall.

[livius]

Prayers for them.

The Pacific is the world's most mis-named ocean.

[Faith]

Heavenly Father,

Please calm the waters surrounding all those in this rescue mission. Give courage and strength to each person involved and let Your mighty hand protect them through the night. Guide and direct every part of the rescue, Lord, for our trust is in You. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

[maestro]

Amen,........More Grace and Mercy,........In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!

[dixiechick2000]

30-40 foot waves? Yikes!

Sending up prayers for all involved right now!

[AnAmericanMother]

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who biddest the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy Word,
Who walked on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

O Trinity of love and power!
Our family shield in danger’s hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect us wheresoever we go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
