Praying for the people of Haiti.
At 8:29 a.m. this morning, a 7.2 earthquake centered five miles off the coast of Trou-du-Nippes (northern coast of southern peninsula) hit Haiti.
PDA and World Mission have been in contact with our partners in Haiti offering our prayers and support. We will be using OG100000 to respond to this disaster www.bit.ly/PDAHaiti
Please join us in this prayer, written by Cindy Corell, Presbyterian World Mission Mission Co-Worker in Haiti.
Lord God! Your children in Haiti are so frightened! Their walls shook this morning. The ground beneath their feet cannot be trusted!
Goudougoudou, they call it! It’s the sound they heard on January 12, 2010 when catastrophe came quaking and shaking.
Lord God, their bodies and souls tremble again as a large earthquake broke their houses, crushingly destroying lives and livelihoods.
But their faith in You is not broken, Lord God.
We ask again that You hold them tight,
Bring healing to their bodies,
Bring structure to the disorder,
Bring help for the wounded,
Bring light to this darkness once again enveloping them.
And Lord God, help us to bring aid first by listening to their concerns,
Biding by their needs as they share them.
Lord God, your children in Haiti are so frightened.
Please let us shelter them in spirit while we walk with them.
We ask all this in the name of your precious Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen
