Prayer for the people of Japan

Lord, I just want to say THANK YOU,
Because this morning I woke up and knew
where my children were.

Because this morning my home was still standing,
Because this morning I am not crying

Because my spouse, my child, my brother or sister,
my parent does not need to be buried
or to be pulled out from
underneath a pile of concrete,

Because this morning I was able to
drink a glass of water,
Because this morning I was able to
turn on the light,
Because this morning I was able to
take a shower,
Because this morning I was not
Planning a funeral,

But most of all I thank you this morning
because I still have life and voice to cry out
for the people of Japan.

Lord I cry out to you, the
One who makes the impossible, possible,
The One who turns darkness into light,
I cry out that You give those mothers strength,

That You give them peace that surpasses all understanding,
That You may open the streets so that help can come.
That You may provide doctors, nurses, food, water,
and all that they need in a blink of an eye.

For all those that have lost family members,
give them peace, give them hope, give them courage
to continue to go on!
Protect the children and shield them with your power.
I pray all this in the name of Jesus!!!
