# Lord, in your mercy hear our prayers

Friday, September 23, 2005 1:47 PM by Safiyah Fosua

Lord hear our prayers:

For those stalled in cars and those huddled in homes
For those who are fleeing the storm for
the second time
And for those whose lives are in danger…

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers…


Lord hear our prayers:
For local, state and federal government officials
who were never trained for such severe circumstances

For all who labor and for all who own businesses small and large
For homeowners and renters and for those who live under bridges…

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers…

Lord hear our prayers:
For babies and nursing mothers
For toddlers and old folks
For adolescents and mid-aged people who understand the danger and fear

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers…

Lord, hear our prayers:
For all creatures great and small
For dogs on the lap and wolves in the wild
For creeping things and things that hop or fly…

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayers….

Lord, have mercy upon your people and your creation and your land
In this hour of trial.
