Let us pray for the People in the Philippines that the Lord will keep them safe from danger, and protect them by covering them with His precious Blood as the country is hit by the super typhoon Haiyan.
Lord JESUS, your name is greater than any super typhoon or natural disaster, take care of Your people in the Philippines and other countries affected, provide them the strength needed to overcome this natural disaster and provide the the healing they will need when the storm calms. In Jesus name, I pray and dare to claim that JESUS will protect, rebuke the storm soon and heal the all victims. AMEN.
Luke 8:22-25
Jesus Calms the Storm
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, �Let us go over to the other side of the lake.� So they got into a boat and set out.23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, �Master, Master,we�re going to drown!�
He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25 �Where is your faith?� he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, �Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.�
Prayer
Loving Lord, we come to you trusting in your mercy and knowing that your steadfast love endures forever. Look with mercy on those who have been harmed or displaced by this disaster. Grant them your strength to meet the days ahead. Allow those who are affected to experience your peace which passes all understanding and new hope in the resurrection. Move in those who are able to give aid, that we may be your hands and heart on the earth. Be with all who offer your assistance; may your Spirit uphold them. To you face the challenges ahead. Give us the assurance of your presence even in this time so that we can cling to your promise of hope and life shown us through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, Amen.
