O Almighty and Everlasting God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, You Who laid the foundations of the world, Who set the mountains in their place, who commanded and the seas were formed — I come before You in reverence, calling upon Your mercy for the lands shaken by destruction, especially the people of Myanmar and Thailand – seeking that You be their refuge, strength and comfort; let Your peace reign where there is fear; and let Your grace uphold those who cry out to You. O Lord of Compassion, Refuge of the afflicted, look with pity on the people of Thailand and Myanmar, and be their stronghold in the ruins of the earthquake; and comfort the grieving. Father, Healer of the Broken, with Your Son, the Great Physician, heal the wounded; strengthen the weary; let aid flow swiftly; let hope rise from despair, and let Your presence be a light in their darkness.
O God of Justice and Mercy, Lord of Power and Might, our Rock and Fortress, I pray for all other nations, especially Nigeria, protect us from destruction; steady the trembling ground; calm the raging storms; speak peace over the trembling earth; restrain the winds, calm the waters, and stay the hand of destruction from the nations.
O Lord, my Rock and Fortress, I know that we disturb nature and have not tended the earth as You commanded on our creation, and so that by our activity we have affected natural occurrences and brought climate change – bringing with it untold consequences. So Lord, our Refuge, our Deliverer, and our Unfailing Hope, I look to You for safety wherever I am; should the earth shake, or the skies darken, or the winds howl and the waters rise, keep me and my loved ones secure beneath Your mighty hand; guard my home, my steps, and my life from harm; let no disaster overtake me; and let no calamity consume me.
Lord God, Guardian of the faithful, Commander of the Heavens, send forth Your angels to encamp around me; let the ground be firm beneath my feet, and let my heart never waver in trust. O God of Eternity, Keeper of Souls, no force of nature is beyond Your dominion – so Lord by Your dominion, power and might, keep me safe all through my life till I find rest in You through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, in Whose name I pray. Amen.
