We hold the people of Nepal in prayer today.
Massive flash flooding has swept through communities in northern Nepal near the border with Tibet, washing away homes, roads, bridges, and critical infrastructure and threatening the livelihoods of communities along the river.

Information is still emerging, and access and communication remain difficult in some of the affected areas. We are grateful for local communities, government agencies, the Nepal Army, Red Cross, Scouts, and others who are already engaged in rescue and relief efforts.

Week of Compassion is in communication with our partners as ACT Alliance members in Nepal monitor the situation, assess the needs, and discern how best to respond.

God of mercy,
Be near to the people of Nepal in these frightening and uncertain hours.

Comfort those who grieve and those who are waiting for word of loved ones. Protect communities still in the path of the rising waters. Give strength and wisdom to first responders, local leaders, volunteers, and all who are working to rescue neighbors and reach communities that have been cut off.

For those who have lost homes, livelihoods, and the security of what was familiar, provide shelter, courage, and hope for the days ahead.

And as the waters recede and the long work of recovery begins, help us to stand faithfully with our partners and with the communities whose lives have been changed.

God, in your mercy, hear our prayers for Nepal.
