Dear Father in Heaven,
 
I am sad this morning.
The tornado news, as I tune in to the a television broadcast,
is devastating for a community in Oklahoma.
Adults and children did what their disaster drills taught them
but it wasn't good enough!
 
So I am sad!
Thank You that You are bigger than disasters,
ruin, even death.
You are with us no matter what happens next.
Thank You!
 
So be with all who have suffered loss -
of life, of property, of security in this life!
Allow them to know You in ways they have not in the past.
Forgive us for looking first to others for help -
family, friends, the bigger community, the government.
Help us to look first to You!
We need to be there for others when tragedy strikes,
but our help is so limited, no matter what we do!
 
But YOU!!
You care for 'ALL of our needs according to Your riches in Christ Jesus'!
Welcome those who have lost their lives in this storm....
into Your Forever Home!
 
Move us and use.......
in so many ways this morning!
But most of all help us,
help them to grab hold of Your Loving Hand!
Help all of us to sit on your lap .....
and then be with us as we tramp through the rubble of this life!
 
Thank You, Jesus..
 
AMEN
