We Pray . . .
Dear heavenly Father, who cares for all Your children in need and can turn even the worst of evils into good; we pray for those affected by the earthquake in Haiti; that You, for the sake of Jesus our great Healer and Saviour will help those who are attempting to rescue trapped survivors and to bring aid to all sufferers; comfort the bereaved, heal the wounded; give shelter to the homeless and food to the hungry; support the efforts of the Lutheran Church of Haiti to minister to the afflicted, demonstrating Your love in deed and with Your saving Gospel; and assist our friends Walter and Howard Bogusat to return safely to Canada.
We thank and praise You for the loving care and the immediate financial response of members of Lutheran Church-Canada congregations to help alleviate the pain of those suffering in the midst of the disaster. Amen.
