Today, my entry will be a prayer. For Haiti.
Dearest Lord.
Today I ask, that you help these efforts come together to help Haiti. I know that the church, the community of christ has donated some oblation funds. I hope that our people decide to donate more. We have so many members who deal constantly with tragedy. I remember three years ago towards the last conference they were dealing with mud-slides and death, and I know many of the people live in tin-roof homes and the economy is lacking. Now they have to deal with loss of maybe what they hold most valuable, their families. God let them experience your shalom, your love, and your cleansing spirit as they heal. They could easily blame you for this natural disaster, but let them see the mercy and grace that comes with each bandaid, each worker, each rock moved, and re-settled. I ask that their hearts be bound back together, spare no time looking for each and every piece, and healed, made stronger, and give them hope. Love them let them feel found and loved, known and helped.
For now, I ask these things in your sons most holy name,
Amen.
