Lives devastated

Psalm 57:1-3

Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
    for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
    until the disaster has passed.

I cry out to God Most High,
    to God, who vindicates me.
He sends from heaven and saves me,
    rebuking those who hotly pursue me
    God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.

Compassionate God, source of all comfort, 
We pray for the people whose lives have devastated by rain and flood. 
Bring them comfort, we pray. 
Protect the vulnerable. 
Strengthen the weak. 
Keep at bay the spread of disease. 
Have mercy on all those working to rescue the stranded and to feed the hungry. 
And may our response to their suffering be generous and bring you praise.

For we ask it in Jesus Name, Amen.
