It after noon as I write this and we have been hearing the reports of the devastating 8.9 earthquake and the resulting tsunami in Japan.
Please pray for all the people of Japan who are scared, injured, fearing for missing people, or grieving the dead. The temperatures are cold, power is sporadic, drinking water safety is compromised, transportation is unreliable and help can’t come soon enough.
President Obama has pledged to provide American assistance. Please consider being part of that assistance. Listen carefully for ways to help as the disaster relief authorities gear up to reach those affected by this tragedy. Check the web site of Lutheran World Relief (www.lwr.org) for details on how you can help.
At this time, it does not look like the tsunami waves will create a lot of devastation on U.S. properties but there may be some. Please pray for all whose industries or livelihoods may be impacted by this event.
Lord, be with your children who are scared, hurt, or grieving because of this earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan. Help them to feel your loving compassion in the hands who reach out to provide help. Move our hearts to be agents of love and compassion to all those who are suffering because of this event.
Amen.
