Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, giving thanks for your protection and keeping us safe during the recent earthquake. We are grateful that you were right there with us, shielding us from harm and calming our fears. We acknowledge that it is by your grace and mercy that we are still standing, and we offer our heartfelt gratitude.
Lord, we know that aftershocks may come, and we humbly ask for your continued presence and watchful eye upon us. Keep us secure in your loving arms, guarding us from any further danger or harm. Help us to trust in your unfailing protection and to find peace in the midst of uncertainty.
We pray for all those who have been affected by the earthquake, that you would comfort them in their distress and provide for their needs. May your healing touch be upon those who are injured, and may your peace surround those who have lost loved ones or property. Lord, bring restoration and hope to their lives.
As we navigate through this challenging time, we also lift up our voices in thanksgiving for your faithfulness. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." We cling to this promise and trust in your unfailing love.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
