Loving God,
Who cares ceaselessly for all creation,
We pray for the people of Samoa;
That they may know your pacific touch in these days of earthquake and tsunami,
That the ocean, the moana, may continue to surround and sustain them,
That your compassion may help women, men and children
Live with the loss of their loved ones,
Overcome the destruction of their homes and livelihoods and
Deal with the fear of what the future may hold.
Let us feel the breeze of your Spirit in the sails of our companionship with the island peoples of the Pacific and
Let us see the light of your presence as we plot the course of our common discipleship within your worldwide Church. Amen.
Prayer from the Methodist Church in Britain’s website, which churches are encouraged to use during worship on Sunday.
