To Pray During Disasters: |
|
"Lord God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN." (LBW) | |
|
Quote Gil Furst: |
|
"The prayers of God's people are more powerful than these tornadoes...." And I think, says J. Sims, more powerful than hurricane Katrina! | |
