Prayer "For an End to Storms"



As disciples of old called upon Jesus for His help while on the waters of Galilee (Mark 4:35-41), we carry in prayer and offer whatever assistance possible to all our sisters and brothers in Texas.

O God, to Whose commands
all the elements give obedience,
we humbly entreat You,
that the still of fearsome storms
may turn a powerful menace
into an occasion for us to praise You.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God,
for ever and ever.
