Prayer for Indonesian earthquake and tsunami

O God,

hold those who are hurting

comfort those who are in mourning

calm those who are panicking

surround with safety those who are traumatised

shelter those who are homeless

be a beacon of wisdom and guidance

for those directing rescue operations.

As you entered into the blood, sweat and tears of life

Help us to enter into lament, love and solidarity

with our sisters and brothers in Indonesia

standing together with those you love

in their time of deepest need.

May they know they are not alone.

In Jesus name,
