A Prayer during Hurricane Isaias

Lord and Holy Protector, like the disciples who were caught in their tiny boat in the midst of a mighty storm, we come together to seek Your help.

We are fearful as we are surrounded by danger.

We feel helpless and small before the great power of this perilous time, a power which is beyond our control. We are fearful as we are surrounded by danger.

While everything seems dark and dangerous, we place our trust in You, our Lord and God.

Sheltered here in our home we are also shielded by Your love against all that might harm us.

We know that You hear all prayers; so we now, filled with confidence, lift up our petitions to You, our God.
