Dear Parents and Friends of St Mary’s,

Our prayers go out to the communities devastated by the floods in Queensland and NSW.

PRAYER FOR FLOOD VICTIMS

 Almighty God,

Creator and preserver of our world. We ask you to hear our humble prayers for those affected by the floods throughout Queensland & NSW.  We pray for those still threatened by floods in city & rural areas. Protect both life and property.  At your mercy, bring relief to all affected areas.

We pray for the sick and injured, the homeless, the bereaved, and those still searching for loved ones in this great tragedy.   Have compassion, merciful Lord, in the midst of their profound suffering, comforting and relieving them according to their needs.

Heal those broken in body and spirit.   Give courage and hope in the midst of despair.   Through the generosity of governments and individuals across our nation, provide a future for those whose present circumstances are marked by loss and desperation.  Protect all those who are most vulnerable in the areas of devastation.   And by your gracious hand, rebuild communities where men, women and children are nurtured with care and love.

And turn the hearts of all to you, the God of all comfort.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.   AMEN.

Kind Regards,

Maria
