Sandy Prayers
Short and sweet…
I pray for all those displaced by the storm Sandy. Please, Lord, shine your light down on all those who have been physically, emotionally, and/or financially impacted by this terrible storm. Help your children regroup and rebuild, physically and mentally.
We still don’t have power and heat, but that is a minor inconvenience. People who have trees on top of their houses, flooding, and businesses closed/lost, need your prayers. Please help by joining in prayer and asking others via email, twitter, blogs, whatever to join in prayer.
Thanks and blessings!!!
